sydent

Installation
============

Dependencies can be installed using setup.py in the same way as synapse: see synapse/README.rst.

Having installed dependencies, you can run sydent using::

$ python -m sydent.sydent

This will create a configuration file in sydent.conf with some defaults. You'll most likely want to change the server name and specify a mail relay.

Requests
========

The requests that synapse servers and clients submit to the identity server are, briefly, as follows:

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:8090/matrix/identity/api/v1/validate/email/requestToken' -d'email=matthew@arasphere.net&clientSecret=abcd'
{"success": true, "tokenId": 1}

# receive 943258 by mail

curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:8090/matrix/identity/api/v1/validate/email/submitToken' -d'token=943258&tokenId=1&mxId=%40matthew%3amatrix.org'
{"success": true}

# lookup:

curl 'http://localhost:8090/matrix/identity/api/v1/lookup?medium=email&address=henry%40matrix.org'

# fetch pubkey key for a server

curl http://localhost:8090/matrix/identity/api/v1/pubkey/ed25519
