# Setting up ma1sd Identity Server (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
The playbook can configure the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server for you.
|
||||
**⚠️Note**: ma1sd itself has also been unmaintained for years (the latest commit and release being from 2021). The role of identity servers in the Matrix specification also has an uncertain future. **We recommend not bothering with installing it unless it's the only way you can do what you need to do**. For example, certain things like LDAP integration can also be implemented via [the LDAP provider module for Synapse](./configuring-playbook-ldap-auth.md).
|
||||
|
||||
ma1sd, being an Identity Server, is not strictly needed. It is only used for 3PIDs (3rd party identifiers like E-mail and phone numbers) and some [enhanced features](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/#features).
|
||||
The playbook can configure the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server for you. It is a fork of [mxisd](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd) which was pronounced end of life 2019-06-21.
|
||||
|
||||
This server is private by default, potentially at the expense of user discoverability.

*ma1sd is a fork of [mxisd](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd) which was pronounced end of life 2019-06-21.*
|
||||
See the project's [documentation](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: enabling ma1sd, means that the `openid` API endpoints will be exposed on the Matrix Federation port (usually `8448`), even if [federation](configuring-playbook-federation.md) is disabled. It's something to be aware of, especially in terms of firewall whitelisting (make sure port `8448` is accessible).
|
||||
|
||||
## Adjusting DNS records
|
||||
|
||||
To make the ma1sd Identity Server enable its federation features, set up a SRV record that looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
- Name: `_matrix-identity._tcp` (use this text as-is)
|
||||
- Content: `10 0 443 matrix.example.com` (replace `example.com` with your own)
|
||||
|
||||
See [ma1sd's documentation](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/wiki/mxisd-and-your-privacy#choices-are-never-easy) for information on the privacy implications of setting up this SRV record.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: This `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record for the identity server is different from the `_matrix._tcp` that can be used for Synapse delegation. See [howto-server-delegation.md](howto-server-delegation.md) for more information about delegation.
|
||||
|
||||

### Additional features
|
||||
|
||||
What this playbook configures for your is some bare minimum Identity Server functionality, so that you won't need to rely on external 3rd party services.
|
||||
|
||||
A few variables can be toggled in this playbook to alter the ma1sd configuration that gets generated.
|
||||
|
||||
Still, ma1sd can do much more. You can refer to the [ma1sd website](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) for more details and configuration options.
|
||||
|
||||
To use a more custom configuration, you can define a `matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml` string variable and put your configuration in it. To learn more about how to do this, refer to the information about `matrix_ma1sd_configuration_extension_yaml` in the [default variables file](../roles/custom/matrix-ma1sd/defaults/main.yml) of the ma1sd component.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Customizing email templates
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to change the default email templates used by ma1sd, take a look at the `matrix_ma1sd_threepid_medium_email_custom_` variables (in the `roles/custom/matrix-ma1sd/defaults/main.yml` file.

**Note**: For this to work, either the homeserver needs to [federate](configuring-playbook-federation.md) or the `openid` APIs need to exposed on the federation port. When federation is disabled and ma1sd is enabled, we automatically expose the `openid` APIs (only!) on the federation port. Make sure the federation port (usually `https://matrix.example.com:8448`) is whitelisted in your firewall (even if you don't actually use/need federation).

#### Example: Open Registration for every Domain
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to open registration for any domain, you have to setup the allowed domains with ma1sd's `blacklist` and `whitelist`. The default behavior when neither the `blacklist`, nor the `whitelist` match, is to allow registration. Beware: you can't block toplevel domains (aka `.xy`) because the internal architecture of ma1sd doesn't allow that.

## Troubleshooting
|

|

If email address validation emails sent by ma1sd are not reaching you, you should look into [Adjusting email-sending settings](configuring-playbook-email.md).

If you'd like additional logging information, temporarily enable verbose logging for ma1sd.

To enable it, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml` file:
