This modifies the login fallback page to accept a query parameter (device_id) which will get passed into the login endpoint during the login process.

This also reworks some of the login.js code to reduce duplicated code.

Fixes #5755

MSC: matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2604

Questions

  • Should we also accept an initial_device_display_name query parameter? It does not look any of the other parameters would be useful to accept since they're part of the login process.

Also -- I wasn't really sure about the styling of the JavaScript code, but kind of just followed what was there.

This modifies the input value which is kind of meh, but I think this code is contained enough that it is OK + we control the values being sent to this function.

This change means that we use the whole URL as the redirect, which is necessary to pass the query parameters through SSO.

passing the query params through SSO feels like the sort of thing we shouldn't be doing, for fear of CSRF. can we stash them in a cookie or something instead?

Hmm...the concern being the request will be modified before it gets back to us? I think that would be "bad", but I don't see a security issue with it. We can probably save it in a cookie though. I'll take a look!

Had a brief chat about this and it seems there's no reason not to include it. I've added it to this PR.

@richvdh I modified this to save the query string parameters to a cookie in the case of SSO. (In the case of a password I don't think this is necessary. I'm hoping the code is clear, but for SSO the following happens:

  • The query string is parsed to an object.
  • The object is serialized to JSON.
  • The JSON is stored into a cookie
  • ✨ SSO occurs ✨
  • The cookie is retrieved and de-JSON-ified

This let us keep the code paths similar to the password version where we just follow the first step (parse the query string to an object).

I also cleaned-up some more code and added a few more comments while messing around in here.

I debated about changing it... IE < 11 didn't support it and I didn't want to think too hard about our policy here. I'll do a separate PR that cleans up the style of this file a bit!
