Improve the flow for setting/changing/resetting User password to make
it more secure.
1. Modify `User.resetPassword` to create a token scoped to allow
invocation of a single remote method: `User.setPassword`.
2. Scope the method `User.setPassword` so that regular tokens created
by `User.login` are not allowed to execute it.
For backwards compatibility, this new mode (flow) is enabled only
when User model setting `restrictResetPasswordTokenScope` is set to
`true`.
3. Changing the password via `User.prototype.patchAttributes`
(and similar DAO methods) is no longer allowed. Applications
must call `User.changePassword` and ask the user to provide
the current (old) password.
For backwards compatibility, this new mode (flow) is enabled only
when User model setting `rejectPasswordChangesViaPatchOrReplace` is set
to `true`.
Implement a new method for changing user password with password-reset
token but without the old password.
REST API
POST /api/users/reset-password
Authorization: your-password-reset-token-id
Content-Type: application/json
{"newPassword": "new-pass"}
JavaScript API
User.setPassword(userId, newPassword[, cb])
userInstance.setPassword(newPassword[, cb])
Note: the new REST endpoint is not protected by scopes yet, therefore
any valid access token can invoke it (similarly to how any valid access
token can change the password via PATCH /api/users/:id).
Implement a new method for changing user passwords the secure way.
The method requires the old password to be provided before a new
password can be used.
REST API:
POST /api/users/change-password
Authorization: your-token-id
Content-Type: application/json
{"oldPassword":"old-pass", "newPassword": "new-pass"}
JavaScript API:
User.changePassword(userId, oldPassword, newPassword[, cb])
There is also an instance-level (prototype) method that can be used
from JavaScript:
userInstance.changePassword(oldPassword, newPassword[, cb])
Return 401 when the request does not provide any accessToken argument
or the token was not found.
Also simplify the implementation of the `logout` method to make only
a single database call (`deleteById`) instead of `findById` + `delete`.
Fix User model to preserve the current session (provided via
"options.accessToken") when invalidating access tokens after a change
of email or password property.
Notable side-effects:
- loopback no longer exports "caller" and "arguments" properties
- kv-memory connector is now properly added to the connector registry
- the file "test/support.js" was finally removed
Use local registry in test fixtures to prevent collision in globally
shared models.
Fix issues discoverd in auth implementation where the global registry
was used instead of the correct local one.
