@ -57,12 +57,20 @@ All current endpoints within `/_matrix/identity/api/v1/` will be duplicated
into `/_matrix/identity/v2`, noting that MSC2134 changes the behaviour of lookups. Authentication is still expected on MSC2134's proposed endpoints.
Any request to any endpoint within `/_matrix/identity/v2`, with the exception
of `/_matrix/identity/v2` and the new `/_matrix/identity/v2/account/register`
and `GET /_matrix/identity/v2/terms` may return an error with `M_UNAUTHORIZED`
errcode with HTTP status code 401. This indicates that the user must
authenticate with OpenID and supply a valid `access_token`.
These endpoints require authentication by the client supplying an access token
of `/_matrix/identity/v2`, any `requestToken` endpoint and the new
`/_matrix/identity/v2/account/register` and `GET /_matrix/identity/v2/terms`
may return an error with `M_UNAUTHORIZED` errcode with HTTP status code 401.
This indicates that the user must authenticate with OpenID and supply a valid
`access_token`.
`requestToken` endpoints are excluded from the auth check because they are used
in the registration process before the user has an MXID and therefore cannot
log in with OpenID. It is up to the IS to manage its privacy obligations
appropriately when fulfilling these requests, bearing in mind that the user has
not explictly incicated their agreement to any documents, and may abort the
registration process without doing so.
All other endpoints require authentication by the client supplying an access token
either via an `Authorization` header with a `Bearer` token or an `access_token`
query parameter.
