Add option to enable encryption by default for new rooms #7639
Conversation
|
Is it possible to add a second switch to have also an option to enable encryption by default for public rooms? |
Good call - I could see a homeserver wanting all rooms encrypted. |

@anoadragon453 I think this could use a rebase now that the other PR has been merged? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I've got some other bikesheds to paint here, but before we get there, I think there is a problem:
as noted in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2612#issuecomment-639577866, by basing this on the presets, we're not applying it to what other people seem to mean by "public room" :/.
|
@richvdh Fun, but thanks for noting down the current situation, this PR could hopefully be a step in the right direction then rather than one in the opposite. The reason this one initially went for presets was due to it being based off the dinsic PR which did the same thing. So I suppose we want to follow Riot's lead and base things on the join rules? That doesn't sound too bad in theory :) |
|
After discussing with @richvdh and @ara4n on matrix, we plan to move forward with using presets to determine what defines a "public" room vs. a "private" one, which is what this PR currently does. More context in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2612 |

Biggest requested option since Riot turned on forced e2ee is the ability to disable e2ee in Synapse. Why wasn't that considered in this change? This PR is much newer than all the others requesting the ability to fully disable e2ee. |
Fixes #7821, introduced in #7639 Turns out PyYAML translates `off` into a `False` boolean if it's unquoted (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36463531/pyyaml-automatically-converting-certain-keys-to-boolean-values), which seems to be a liberal interpretation of this bit of the YAML spec: https://yaml.org/spec/1.1/current.html#id864510 An alternative fix would be to implement the solution mentioned in the SO post linked above, but I'm aware it might break existing setups (which might use these values in the configuration file) so it's probably better just to add an extra check for this one. We should be aware that this is a thing for the next times we do that though. I didn't find any other occurrence of this bug elsewhere in the codebase.

Fixes #2431 (
however, I'm not sure from the issue whether it was desired to have this option affect public rooms)Adds config option
encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of
