From 5d2fc6de321ac556ded72e5a8fa9fcf47d172e16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugen Rochko Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2018 19:12:38 +0100 Subject: Add REST API for creating an account (#9572) * Add REST API for creating an account The method is available to apps with a token obtained via the client credentials grant. It creates a user and account records, as well as an access token for the app that initiated the request. The user is unconfirmed, and an e-mail is sent as usual. The method returns the access token, which the app should save for later. The REST API is not available to users with unconfirmed accounts, so the app must be smart to wait for the user to click a link in their e-mail inbox. The method is rate-limited by IP to 5 requests per 30 minutes. * Redirect users back to app from confirmation if they were created with an app * Add tests * Return 403 on the method if registrations are not open * Require agreement param to be true in the API when creating an account --- config/initializers/rack_attack.rb | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'config/initializers') diff --git a/config/initializers/rack_attack.rb b/config/initializers/rack_attack.rb index 8756b8fbf..35302e37b 100644 --- a/config/initializers/rack_attack.rb +++ b/config/initializers/rack_attack.rb @@ -57,6 +57,10 @@ class Rack::Attack req.authenticated_user_id if req.post? && req.path.start_with?('/api/v1/media') end + throttle('throttle_api_sign_up', limit: 5, period: 30.minutes) do |req| + req.ip if req.post? && req.path == '/api/v1/accounts' + end + throttle('protected_paths', limit: 25, period: 5.minutes) do |req| req.ip if req.post? && req.path =~ PROTECTED_PATHS_REGEX end -- cgit
