Our authentication is based on device ID (certificate fingerprint) but
we also check the certificate name for ... historical extra security
reasons. (I don't think this adds anything but it is what it is.) Since
that check breaks in Go 1.15 this change does two things:
- Adds a manual check for the peer certificate CommonName, and if they
are equal we are happy and don't call the more advanced
VerifyHostname() function. This allows our old style certificates to
still pass the check.
- Adds the cert name "syncthing" as a DNS SAN when generating the
certificate. This is the correct way nowadays and makes VerifyHostname()
happy in Go 1.15 as well, even without the above patch.
Storing assets as []byte requires every compiled-in asset to be copied
into writable memory at program startup. That currently takes up 1.6MB
per syncthing process. Strings stay in the RODATA section and should be
shared between processes running the same binary.
- In the few places where we wrap errors, use the new Go 1.13 "%w"
construction instead of %s or %v.
- Where we create errors with constant strings, consistently use
errors.New and not fmt.Errorf.
- Remove capitalization from errors in the few places where we had that.
This adds a certificate lifetime parameter to our certificate generation
and hard codes it to twenty years in some uninteresting places. In the
main binary there are a couple of constants but it results in twenty
years for the device certificate and 820 days for the HTTPS one. 820 is
less than the 825 maximum Apple allows nowadays.
This also means we must be prepared for certificates to expire, so I add
some handling for that and generate a new certificate when needed. For
self signed certificates we regenerate a month ahead of time. For other
certificates we leave well enough alone.
This is an experiment in testing, based on the advise to always call
t.Parallel() at the start of every test. Doing so makes tests run in
parallel, which is usually faster, but also exposes package level state
and potential race conditions better.
To support this I had to redesign the CSRF manager to not be package
global, which was indeed an improvement. And tests run five times faster
now.
* cmd/syncthing, lib/gui: Separate gui into own package (ref #4085)
* fix tests
* Don't use main as interface name (make old go happy)
* gui->api
* don't leak state via locations and use in-tree config
* let api (un-)subscribe to config
* interface naming and exporting
* lib/ur
* fix tests and lib/foldersummary
* shorter URVersion and ur debug fix
* review
* model.JsonCompletion(FolderCompletion) -> FolderCompletion.Map()
* rename debug facility https -> api
* folder summaries in model
* disassociate unrelated constants
* fix merge fail
* missing id assignement
