#
# Synapse automatically adds the fingerprint of its own certificate
# to the list. So if federation traffic is handled directly by synapse
# then no modification to the list is required.
#
# If synapse is run behind a load balancer that handles the TLS then it
# will be necessary to add the fingerprints of the certificates used by
# the loadbalancers to this list if they are different to the one
# synapse is using.
#
# Homeservers are permitted to cache the list of TLS fingerprints
# returned in the key responses up to the "valid_until_ts" returned in
# key. It may be necessary to publish the fingerprints of a new
# certificate and wait until the "valid_until_ts" of the previous key
# responses have passed before deploying it.
#
# You can calculate a fingerprint from a given TLS listener via:
# openssl s_client -connect $host:$port < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
# openssl x509 -outform DER | openssl sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '='
# or by checking matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=$host

# CPU affinity mask. Setting this restricts the CPUs on which the
# process will be scheduled. It is represented as a bitmask, with the
# lowest order bit corresponding to the first logical CPU and the
# highest order bit corresponding to the last logical CPU. Not all CPUs
# may exist on a given system but a mask may specify more CPUs than are
# present.
#
# For example:
# 0x00000001 is processor #0,
# 0x00000003 is processors #0 and #1,
# 0xFFFFFFFF is all processors (#0 through #31).
#
# Pinning a Python process to a single CPU is desirable, because Python
# is inherently single-threaded due to the GIL, and can suffer a
# 30-40% slowdown due to cache blow-out and thread context switching

## Ratelimiting ##
# Ratelimiting settings for client actions (registration, login, messaging).
#
# Each ratelimiting configuration is made of two parameters:
# - per_second: number of requests a client can send per second.
# - burst_count: number of requests a client can send before being throttled.
#
# Synapse currently uses the following configurations:
# - one for messages that ratelimits sending based on the account the client
# is using
# - one for registration that ratelimits registration requests based on the
# client's IP address.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the client's IP
# address.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
# client is attempting to log into.
# - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
# client is attempting to log into, based on the amount of failed login
# attempts for this account.
# - one for ratelimiting redactions by room admins. If this is not explicitly
# set then it uses the same ratelimiting as per rc_message. This is useful
# to allow room admins to deal with abuse quickly.
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_message:
# per_second: 0.2
# burst_count: 10
#
#rc_registration:
# per_second: 0.17
# burst_count: 3

#
#rc_admin_redaction:

# burst_count: 50
# Ratelimiting settings for incoming federation
#
# The rc_federation configuration is made up of the following settings:
# - window_size: window size in milliseconds
# - sleep_limit: number of federation requests from a single server in
# a window before the server will delay processing the request.
# - sleep_delay: duration in milliseconds to delay processing events
# from remote servers by if they go over the sleep limit.
# - reject_limit: maximum number of concurrent federation requests
# allowed from a single server
# - concurrent: number of federation requests to concurrently process
# from a single server
#
# The defaults are as shown below.
#
#rc_federation:
# window_size: 1000
# sleep_limit: 10
# sleep_delay: 500
# reject_limit: 50

url_preview_enabled: False
# List of IP address CIDR ranges that the URL preview spider is denied

# synapse to issue arbitrary GET requests to your internal services,
# causing serious security issues.
#
# (0.0.0.0 and :: are always blacklisted, whether or not they are explicitly
# listed here, since they correspond to unroutable addresses.)
#
# This must be specified if url_preview_enabled is set. It is recommended that

#
# url_preview_ip_range_whitelist:

# This is more useful if you know there is an entire shape of URL that
# you know that will never want synapse to try to spider.
#
# Each list entry is a dictionary of url component attributes as returned
# by urlparse.urlsplit as applied to the absolute form of the URL. See
# https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.urlsplit
# The values of the dictionary are treated as an filename match pattern
# applied to that component of URLs, unless they start with a ^ in which

# When we need to fetch a signing key, each server is tried in parallel.
#
# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates.
# Additional security can be provided by configuring a `verify key`, which
# will make synapse check that the response is signed by that key.
#
# This setting supercedes an older setting named `perspectives`. The old format
# is still supported for backwards-compatibility, but it is deprecated.
#
# 'trusted_key_servers' defaults to matrix.org, but using it will generate a
# warning on start-up. To suppress this warning, set

#
# Options for each entry in the list include:
#
# server_name: the name of the server. required.
#
# verify_keys: an optional map from key id to base64-encoded public key.
# If specified, we will check that the response is signed by at least
# one of the given keys.
#
# accept_keys_insecurely: a boolean. Normally, if `verify_keys` is unset,
# and federation_verify_certificates is not `true`, synapse will refuse
# to start, because this would allow anyone who can spoof DNS responses
# to masquerade as the trusted key server. If you know what you are doing
# and are sure that your network environment provides a secure connection
# to the key server, you can set this to `true` to override this
# behaviour.
#
# An example configuration might look like:
#
#trusted_key_servers:
# - server_name: "my_trusted_server.example.com"
# verify_keys:
# "ed25519:auto": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmopqr"
# - server_name: "my_other_trusted_server.example.com"

# Enable SAML2 for registration and login. Uses pysaml2.
#
# At least one of `sp_config` or `config_path` must be set in this section to
# enable SAML login.
#
# (You will probably also want to set the following options to `false` to
# disable the regular login/registration flows:
# * enable_registration
# * password_config.enabled
#
# Once SAML support is enabled, a metadata file will be exposed at
# https://<server>:<port>/_matrix/saml2/metadata.xml, which you may be able to
# use to configure your SAML IdP with. Alternatively, you can manually configure
# the IdP to use an ACS location of
# https://<server>:<port>/_matrix/saml2/authn_response.
#
saml2_config:
# `sp_config` is the configuration for the pysaml2 Service Provider.
# See pysaml2 docs for format of config.
#
# Default values will be used for the 'entityid' and 'service' settings,
# so it is not normally necessary to specify them unless you need to
# override them.
#
#sp_config:
# # point this to the IdP's metadata. You can use either a local file or
# # (preferably) a URL.
# metadata:

#
# # By default, the user has to go to our login page first. If you'd like
# # to allow IdP-initiated login, set 'allow_unsolicited: true' in a
# # 'service.sp' section:
# #
# #service:
# # sp:
# # allow_unsolicited: true
#
# # The examples below are just used to generate our metadata xml, and you
# # may well not need them, depending on your setup. Alternatively you

# This setting controls the SAML attribute which will be used for this
