# Setting up the Shared Secret Auth password provider module (optional, advanced)
2018-08-20 14:11:55 +00:00
The playbook can install and configure [matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth ](https://github.com/devture/matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth ) for you.
See that project's documentation to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.

## Adjusting the playbook configuration
2024-10-17 13:17:56 +00:00
Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
2018-08-20 14:11:55 +00:00
```yaml
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_shared_secret_auth_enabled: true
2024-10-11 12:18:03 +00:00
# Generate a strong shared secret here. Consider generating it with `pwgen -s 64 1`
2018-08-20 14:11:55 +00:00
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_shared_secret_auth_shared_secret: YOUR_SHARED_SECRET_GOES_HERE
2019-07-04 14:11:51 +00:00
```
## Authenticating only using a password provider
If you wish for users to **authenticate only against configured password providers** (like this one), **without consulting Synapse's local database** , feel free to disable it:
```yaml
matrix_synapse_password_config_localdb_enabled: false
```

## Installing
2024-12-01 07:42:30 +00:00
After configuring the playbook, run it with [playbook tags ](playbook-tags.md ) as below:
<!-- NOTE: let this conservative command run (instead of install - all) to make it clear that failure of the command means something is clearly broken. -->
```sh
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start
```
Edit installing instructions (#3844)
* Replace "just run-tags install-all/setup-all,start" with "just install-all/setup-all"
Thanks to the tip by Slavi that the overhead of ensure-matrix-users-created is negligible.

* Edit installing instructions
- Move the anchor links to docs/just.md
- Add note about running "ensure-matrix-users-created" tags, if ansible-playbook's tags not "setup-all,ensure-matrix-users-created,start", ie. either "setup-all,start", "setup-email2matrix,start", "setup-aux-files,setup-corporal,start", or "setup-matrix-user-verification-service,start"

* Update descriptions about installation
- Introduce the most conservative and stable raw ansible-playbook command.
- Introduce the just commands on installing.md and maintenance-upgrading-services.md, not on quick-start.md, since it is too early for quick start guide readers who are just starting to climb learning curve to use the shortcuts.

`just install-all` is useful for maintaining your setup quickly when its components remain unchanged. If you adjust your `vars.yml` to remove other components, you'd need to run `just setup-all` , or these components will still remain installed. Note these shortcuts run the `ensure-matrix-users-created` tag too.
