This is beacause nginx will do canonization of URIs before
proxy-passing if you add anything after the port host:port.
For example, with:
location /anything {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008/anything;
}
NGINX will perform canonization, but with:
location /anything {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8008
# With NO Trailing slash
}
NGINX will pass the unaltered original request, included /anything, to
the upstream server.
Canonization leads to problem when federating to other matrix-synapse
instances. The observed bug was:
- User A on our server (@A:our.server) invites User B on external
server (@B:matrix.org).
- User B correctly receive the invite.
- User B try to join the room but the request timeout.
- On our.sever logs we see "signature tampered" errors related to
incoming connection from the external server (matrix.org).
This commit fix the issue.
- User last official deb package from matrix.org
- Revised LDAP integration:
* ldap_server, ldap_domain [ ldap_basedn ] config vraiables.
* Bind a protected service account with a service password and
start-tls
- Hardcoded matrix.lilik.it --> {{ ansible_hostname }}.{{ domain }}
- Sqlite -> Postgres
New variables:
- matrix_domain | default($domain)
