+# Note that provisioning a certificate in this way requires port 80 to be

+# with 'Permission denied' or a similar error.
+#
+# There are a couple of potential solutions to this:
+#
+#  * If you already have an Apache, Nginx, or similar listening on port 80,
+#    you can configure Synapse to use an alternate port, and have your web
+#    server forward the requests. For example, assuming you set 'port: 8009'
+#    below, on Apache, you would write:
+#
+#    ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge http://localhost:8009/.well-known/acme-challenge
+#
+#  * Alternatively, you can use something like \`authbind\` to give Synapse
+#    permission to listen on port 80.

+# Synapse automatically adds the fingerprint of its own certificate
+# to the list. So if federation traffic is handled directly by synapse
+# then no modification to the list is required.
+#
+# If synapse is run behind a load balancer that handles the TLS then it

+# synapse is using.
+#
+# Homeservers are permitted to cache the list of TLS fingerprints
+# returned in the key responses up to the "valid_until_ts" returned in
+# key. It may be necessary to publish the fingerprints of a new
+# certificate and wait until the "valid_until_ts" of the previous key
+# responses have passed before deploying it.
+#
+# You can calculate a fingerprint from a given TLS listener via:
+# openssl s_client -connect $host:$port < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
+#   openssl x509 -outform DER | openssl sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '='

+#   - burst_count: number of requests a client can send before being throttled.
+#
+# Synapse currently uses the following configurations:
+#   - one for messages that ratelimits sending based on the account the client
+#     is using
+#   - one for registration that ratelimits registration requests based on the
+#     client's IP address.
+#   - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the client's IP
+#     address.
+#   - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
+#     client is attempting to log into.
+#   - one for login that ratelimits login requests based on the account the
+#     client is attempting to log into, based on the amount of failed login
+#     attempts for this account.
+#   - one for ratelimiting redactions by room admins. If this is not explicitly
+#     set then it uses the same ratelimiting as per rc_message. This is useful
+#     to allow room admins to deal with abuse quickly.
+#
+# The defaults are as shown below.

+# Normally, the connection to the key server is validated via TLS certificates.
+# Additional security can be provided by configuring a \`verify key\`, which

+# Parts of this section are required if enabling the 'consent' resource under

+#
+# 'template_dir' gives the location of the templates for the HTML forms.
+# This directory should contain one subdirectory per language (eg, 'en', 'fr'),
+# and each language directory should contain the policy document (named as
+# '<version>.html') and a success page (success.html).
+#
+# 'version' specifies the 'current' version of the policy document. It defines
+# the version to be served by the consent resource if there is no 'v'
+# parameter.
+#
+# 'server_notice_content', if enabled, will send a user a "Server Notice"
+# asking them to consent to the privacy policy. The 'server_notices' section
+# must also be configured for this to work. Notices will *not* be sent to
+# guest users unless 'send_server_notice_to_guests' is set to true.

+# 'block_events_error', if set, will block any attempts to send events
+# until the user consents to the privacy policy. The value of the setting is
+# used as the text of the error.

+# 'require_at_registration', if enabled, will add a step to the registration
+# process, similar to how captcha works. Users will be required to accept the
+# policy before their account is created.

+# for an account. Has no effect unless \`require_at_registration\` is enabled.

+#
+# If you uncomment this section, you *must* define the system_mxid_localpart
+# setting, which defines the id of the user which will be used to send the

+#
+#enable_room_list_search: false
+
+# The \`alias_creation\` option controls who's allowed to create aliases
+# on this server.
+#
+# The format of this option is a list of rules that contain globs that
+# match against user_id, room_id and the new alias (fully qualified with
+# server name). The action in the first rule that matches is taken,
+# which can currently either be "allow" or "deny".
+#
+# Missing user_id/room_id/alias fields default to "*".
+#
+# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
+# can create aliases.
+#
+# Options for the rules include:
+#
+#   user_id: Matches against the creator of the alias
+#   alias: Matches against the alias being created
+#   room_id: Matches against the room ID the alias is being pointed at

+# The \`room_list_publication_rules\` option controls who can publish and
+# which rooms can be published in the public room list.
+#
+# The format of this option is the same as that for
+# \`alias_creation_rules\`.
+#
+# If the room has one or more aliases associated with it, only one of
+# the aliases needs to match the alias rule. If there are no aliases
+# then only rules with \`alias: *\` match.
+#
+# If no rules match the request is denied. An empty list means no one
+# can publish rooms.
+#
+# Options for the rules include:
+#
+#   user_id: Matches agaisnt the creator of the alias
+#   room_id: Matches against the room ID being published
+#   alias: Matches against any current local or canonical aliases
+#            associated with the room
+#   action: Whether to "allow" or "deny" the request if the rule matches
+#
+# The default is:
+#

+#  - user_id: "*"
+#    alias: "*"
+#    room_id: "*"
+#    action: allow
+
+
+# Server admins can define a Python module that implements extra rules for
+# allowing or denying incoming events. In order to work, this module needs to
+# override the methods defined in synapse/events/third_party_rules.py.

+
+# These settings enable opentracing, which implements distributed tracing.

+# synapse or any other other services which supports opentracing
+# (specifically those implemented with Jaeger).
+#
