3pid authentication

[adrnam]

Includes commit 3d26316 from maxidor which allows to test sign-in by using 3PID email without backend: Just add to application.yaml config file:

memory:
  enabled: true
  identities:
    - username: "<matrix_username>"
      password: "<matrix_password>"
      threepids:
        - medium: "email"
          address: "<random_email>@<random_domain>"

(note that this password field is not used because the password must be provided by the login request)

Note: a method to support GET on login (which returns hardcoded JSON message) has been added in order to prevent Riot client displaying an error (405) message when setting addresses of HS and IS.

Requires to configurate Proxy Reverse in Apache and DNS Overwrite as for User Directory feature :

• in Apache configuration add ProxyPass /_matrix/client/r0/login http://localhost:8090/_matrix/client/r0/login
• in application.yaml add

  dns.overwrite.homeserver.client:
  - name: '<your_server_name>'
  value: 'http://localhost:8008'

  It was working for me according to my Apache configuration, feel free to correct me.

Thus, you should be able to login to your HS using mxisd by typing your 3PID (e.g. you email address) as username and your matrix password.
