AuthenticationAPI - use base64encode which can deal with UTF8 passwords #1411

himdel · 2018-03-26T16:51:50Z

This is the same change as ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic#3682, except for SUI.

This adds 2 npm packages:

base64js - JS implementation of base64 which can deal with arbitrary encodings
text-encoder-lite - a shim for the TextEncoder api, useable for utf8 strings (even in IE)

and replaces the AuthenticationAPI use of $base64.encode with a custom base64encode function implemented using the 2 libraries.

This way, users can use passwords with unicode chars.

Note: on modern browsers, this will handle any unicode password, including emoji.
On IE, more modern unicode versions may not be fully supported (czech or japanese chars should be fine, emoji may not).

The difference:

btoa('babicka')
"YmFiaWNrYQ=="

base64encode("babicka")
"YmFiaWNrYQ=="

btoa('babička')
VM7832:1 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'btoa' on 'Window': The string to be encoded contains characters outside of the Latin1 range.

base64encode("babička")
"YmFiacSNa2E="

Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527316

suffers from the same problem as window.btoa - can't handle unicode strings https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527316

himdel · 2018-03-26T16:52:34Z

Testing:

add a user with special (unicode) characters in the password
try to log in :)

`window.btoa("sněhulák")` fails on InvalidCharacterError: String contains an invalid character because it only expects latin1 chars `$base64.encode` from `angular-base64` has the same problem. We need to base64 encode the login:password pair even when the password uses non-latin1 chars :) Implementation adapted from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowBase64/Base64_encoding_and_decoding#Solution_2_%E2%80%93_rewrite_the_DOMs_atob()_and_btoa()_using_JavaScript's_TypedArrays_and_UTF-8 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1527316

Jumped in, checked it out, café is now a valid password!

LG2M Soon as travis is made happy (style things) will merge this in!

AllenBW · 2018-03-26T20:11:56Z

oh my, now those are annoying failures... lemme see what can be done to help out travis... 🤔

himdel · 2018-03-26T22:01:15Z

So.. this does fail with the PhantomJS launcher but not with Chrome launcher .. also, looks like this kind of import is not really used in SUI, almost everything exernal is required in client/app.js.

Also also, the specs kinda don't even run... looks like a runtime error early on, before any of the real code gets run (otherwise we'd see the promise either resolve, or catch, but if I add a .then(done, done), it still times out).

That leads me to think this could be some webpack config error (which we could see as not being able to login in older browsers) or a difference in how the specs are compiled (babel vs webpack?).

Either way, I'll try fixing in the morning by moving that import to client/app.js, and seeing if that works :).

himdel · 2018-03-27T12:34:24Z

Never mind, this (travis) is actually a different problem .. TextEncoder works just fine (in browsers that support it), but TextEncoderLite doesn't seem to have an encode method we rely on.

.. and that's because .. completely logically .. TextEncoderLite actually only exports TextDecoderLite when in module context :D

(problem described more in ManageIQ/manageiq-ui-classic#3687)

… the encoder and explicitly say window.TextEncoder for when it doesn't exist
