⁠Matrix Synapse docker image with REST Password provider

⁠Overview

This synapse's password provider allows you to validate a password for a given username and return a user profile using an existing backend, like:

• Forums (phpBB, Discourse, etc.)
• Custom Identity stores (Keycloak, ...)
• CRMs (Wordpress, ...)
• self-hosted clouds (Nextcloud, ownCloud, ...)

It is mainly used with mxisd⁠, the Federated Matrix Identity Server, to provide missing features and offer a fully integrated solution (directory, authentication, search).

NOTE: This module doesn't provide direct integration with any backend. If you do not use mxisd, you will need to write your own backend, following the Integration section⁠. This module simply translate an anthentication result and profile information into actionables in synapse, and adapt your user profile with what is given.
