This closes a security loophole, where the auth type of a Platform
Admin could be unwittingly changed when they accept an invite, or
by an admin of a service they are a member of.
This makes the code shareable between:
- the broadcast tour pages
- the broadcast settings platform admin page
- the regular service navigation
On the training mode tour pages we don’t want to confuse people with the
organisation name or _Switch service_ links, so those are omitted and
the code is therefore slightly different.
At the moment if you’re invited to a live broadcast service you get the
training mode tour. This is misleading, and could make people think they
weren’t in danger of sending a real alert.
This commit adds a short, 2 step tour for users invited to a live
broadcast service.
We want people to be really sure before sending a live broadcast, not
just clicking through the green buttons.
This commit adds a checkbox which explains exactly the consequences of
what they’re about to do, tailored to the channel they’re on, and the
area chosen by the person creating the alert.
This scopes the check for WebAuthn API to the page where we need
it, which will slightly reduce load times for other pages. Since
we want this script to execute ASAP, I've added a new block for
extra JS to run at the start of the body.
This hides the "Register" button and shows an error that's specific
to one of two ways a browser may not support WebAuthn:
- JavaScript is disabled (there's no possible fallback for this).
- WebAuthn API is not supported (e.g. on Internet Explorer).
We could add a similar check for the API in the JS code to handle
the button click, but hiding it seems like enough protection.
In order to avoid elements flashing when the page loads, this uses
a view macro to embed a script at the start of the body element,
which is the same approach used for the "js-enabled" class flag [1].
Tested with Chrome and IE 11.

This adds Yubico's FIDO2 library and two APIs for working with the
"navigator.credentials.create()" function in JavaScript. The GET
API uses the library to generate options for the "create()" function,
and the POST API decodes and verifies the resulting credential. While
the options and response are dict-like, CBOR is necessary to encode
some of the byte-level values, which can't be represented in JSON.
Much of the code here is based on the Yubico library example [1][2].
Implementation notes:
- There are definitely better ways to alert the user about failure, but
window.alert() will do for the time being. Using location.reload() is
also a bit jarring if the page scrolls, but not a major issue.
- Ideally we would use window.fetch() to do AJAX calls, but we don't
have a polyfill for this, and we use $.ajax() elsewhere [3]. We need
to do a few weird tricks [6] to stop jQuery trashing the data.
- The FIDO2 server doesn't serve web requests; it's just a "server" in
the sense of WebAuthn terminology. It lives in its own module, since it
needs to be initialised with the app / config.
- $.ajax returns a promise-like object. Although we've used ".fail()"
elsewhere [3], I couldn't find a stub object that supports it, so I've
gone for ".catch()", and used a Promise stub object in tests.
- WebAuthn only works over HTTPS, but there's an exception for "localhost"
[4]. However, the library is a bit too strict [5], so we have to disable
origin verification to avoid needing HTTPS for dev work.

When showing what auth type user uses to sign in, add a text
for users with webauthn.
On password change or sign in, throw not implemented error
if user uses webauthn auth.
Adding ‘all networks’ whenever we mention the using the test channel
without a restriction to a single network should help reinforce that
this sends real alerts.
Only the test channel has the option to isolate messages to one network.
This commits makes the choices less confusing by only showing the
network choice to those who have selected the test channel.
We have been asked to support the government channel so that:
- it can be tested
- the option to use it is available for the most severe of emergencies,
where the public’s choice to opt-out is outweighed by the widespread
risk to life
It feels quite dangerous that it’s just one click to make an emergency
alerts service live.
This commit adds a confirmation step which explains the consequences of
what you’re about to do.
This adds a new platform admin settings row, leading a page which
shows any existing keys and allows a new one to be registered. Until
the APIs for this are implemented, the user API client just returns
some stubbed data for manual testing.
This also includes a basic JavaScript module to do the main work of
registering a new authenticator, to be implemented in the next commits.
Some more minor notes:
- Setting the headings in the mapping_table is necessary to get the
horizontal rule along the top (to match the design).
- Setting caption to False in the mapping_table is necessary to stop
an extra margin appearing at the top.
The current_service.allowed_broadcast_provider is now always "all" or
one of the four providers, which means we can simply the code by not
checking if it is None.
Until all the data is updated to always be "all", we have to handle the
case of provider_restriction being set to None or "all" (which mean the
same thing).
The code can be tidied up once the broadcast provider_restriction is never None.
This is the first step in making the UI easier for setting the
options for a broadcast service. Here we remove the options for
"Training mode" test channels. When we create a broadcast message for a trail mode service it is marked as stubbed and does not create a broadcast event that is sent to a provider.
The label for the form and setting page have been updated to reflect the
change.
Previously there was no indication that a service was suspended.
While this could also be shown for archived/deleted services, the
meaning is similar enough that it makes sense there too - the name
of the archived service should distinguish it as being archived.
For someone who has retrieved a template ID from their system the only
way to find it in Notify is:
- hack the URL
- click through every template, visually inspecting the ID shown on the
page until you find the right one
Neither of these is ideal.
This commit adds searching by ID, for those services who have an API
integration. This means we don’t need to confuse teams who aren’t using
the API by talking about IDs.
This is similar to how we let these teams search for notifications by
reference[1]

Now we’ve split the old alerts onto two pages the verbs (‘Broadcast’ and
‘Rejected’) will always be the same for each alert – so they’re not
adding any differentiation.
The specifics of what the datetime means is available on the page for
each alert.
Removing the verbs makes the page a bit less cluttered and makes it
easier to scan down the right hand column.
The code for this page was making assumptions about properties which
aren’t present on rejected broadcasts.
This commit accounts for those properties and presents the relevant
elements on the page.
Two reasons to not hide rejected broadcasts:
- if a broadcast was rejected by mistake then it’s useful to have an
audit of who did that
- it means you can still see old broadcasts without having to leave
in pending-approval, which is dangerous because they might
accidentally be approved
We've seen someone getting a `500` when trying to visit the `/metrics`
endpoint. This is because the metrics endpoint is not in the `main`
blueprint, so we can't use url_for with a relative endpoint.
Although only bots visit '/metrics' without authorisation, this stops
the odd `500`.
