Provide the ability to set password hash algorithm parameters (#22942)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This PR refactors and improves the password hashing code within gitea
and makes it possible for server administrators to set the password
hashing parameters

In addition it takes the opportunity to adjust the settings for `pbkdf2`
in order to make the hashing a little stronger.

The majority of this work was inspired by PR #14751 and I would like to
thank @boppy for their work on this.

Thanks to @Gusted for the suggestion to adjust the `pbkdf2` hashing
parameters.

Close #14751

- `IMPORT_LOCAL_PATHS`: **false**: Set to `false` to prevent all users (including admin) from importing local path on server.
- `INTERNAL_TOKEN`: **\<random at every install if no uri set\>**: Secret used to validate communication within Gitea binary.
- `INTERNAL_TOKEN_URI`: **<empty>**: Instead of defining INTERNAL_TOKEN in the configuration, this configuration option can be used to give Gitea a path to a file that contains the internal token (example value: `file:/etc/gitea/internal_token`)
- `PASSWORD_HASH_ALGO`: **pbkdf2**: The hash algorithm to use \[argon2, pbkdf2, scrypt, bcrypt\], argon2 will spend more memory than others.
- `PASSWORD_HASH_ALGO`: **pbkdf2**: The hash algorithm to use \[argon2, pbkdf2, pbkdf2_v1, pbkdf2_hi, scrypt, bcrypt\], argon2 and scrypt will spend significant amounts of memory.
- Note: The default parameters for `pbkdf2` hashing have changed - the previous settings are available as `pbkdf2_v1` but are not recommended.
- The hash functions may be tuned by using `$` after the algorithm:
- `argon2$<time>$<memory>$<threads>$<key-length>`
- `bcrypt$<cost>`
- `pbkdf2$<iterations>$<key-length>`
- `scrypt$<n>$<r>$<p>$<key-length>`

- `argon2`: `argon2$2$65536$8$50`
- `bcrypt`: `bcrypt$10`
- `pbkdf2`: `pbkdf2$50000$50`
- `pbkdf2_v1`: `pbkdf2$10000$50`
- `pbkdf2_v2`: `pbkdf2$50000$50`
- `pbkdf2_hi`: `pbkdf2$320000$50`
- `scrypt`: `scrypt$65536$16$2$50`
- Adjusting the algorithm parameters using this functionality is done at your own risk.
- `CSRF_COOKIE_HTTP_ONLY`: **true**: Set false to allow JavaScript to read CSRF cookie.
- `MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH`: **6**: Minimum password length for new users.
- `PASSWORD_COMPLEXITY`: **off**: Comma separated list of character classes required to pass minimum complexity. If left empty or no valid values are specified, checking is disabled (off):
