Questions with usage of matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

[T3chTobi]

I'm using matrix-docker-ansible-deploy and have these configurations:

matrix_synapse_enable_registration: true
matrix_synapse_registrations_require_3pid:
  - email

1. I want to use ma1sd as an identity store. Are the settings above the correct settings? Do I have to use matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml or matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_3pid_registration_?
2. What are the best settings for me use case?
3. On element-web in the settings of the user I don't see the email I registered my account with and can't add this email because it is already in use. What am I doing wrong?

1. Settings https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/group_vars/matrix_servers#L729 will configure ma1sd which uses synapse database only. If you want add some extra settings (i. e. LDAP integration) you can do it via matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml. It depend on your requirements.

2. It depend on your requirements. Ma1sd can lookup users by LDAP server, another RDBMS instance, ... Also ma1sd with https://github.com/ma1uta/matrix-synapse-rest-password-provider can register and authenticate new user from LDAP for example.

3. For element-web you should setup m.identity_server as your ma1sd instance. Also this email can be registered to another user, you can check it in the user_threepid_id_server table
