# Activity for federated star action ## Status Still in discussion ## Context While implementing federation we have to represent persons federated to a local instance. A federated person should be able to execute local actions (as it was a local user) without to many code changes. But the federated person should be able to map to the origin person and keep the crypto stuff to ensure action integrity. ## Decision tbd ## Choices ### 1. Map to User.LoginName by AsLoginName() 1. We map PersonId AsLoginName() to User.LoginName. 2. We accept only URIs as Actor Items 3. We can lookup for federated users without fetching the Person every time. 4. Created User is limited: 1. non functional email is generated, email notification is false. 2. strong password is generated silently 3. User.Type is UserTypeRemoteUser 4. User is not Admin 5. User is not Active ```mermaid classDiagram namespace activitypub { class ForgeLike { ID ID Type ActivityVocabularyType // Like Actor Item Object Item } class Actor { ID URL Item Type ActivityVocabularyType // Person Name NaturalLanguageValues PreferredUsername NaturalLanguageValues Inbox Item Outbox Item PublicKey PublicKey } class ActorID { ID string Source string Schema string Path string Host string Port string UnvalidatedInput string } class PersonID { AsLoginName() string // "ID-Host" } } ActorID <|-- PersonID ForgeLike *-- PersonID: ActorID namespace forgejo { class User { ID int64 LowerName string Name string Email string Passwd string LoginName string Type UserType IsActive bool IsAdmin bool } } PersonID -- User: mapped by AsLoginName() == LoginName ``` ### 2. Map to ExternalLoginUser Would improve the ability to map to the federation source. But login Propagation stuff is not going to be used and will maybe be harmful. ```mermaid classDiagram namespace activitypub { class ForgeLike { ID ID Type ActivityVocabularyType // Like Actor Item Object Item } class Actor { ID URL Item Type ActivityVocabularyType // Person Name NaturalLanguageValues PreferredUsername NaturalLanguageValues Inbox Item Outbox Item PublicKey PublicKey } class ActorID { ID string Source string Schema string Path string Host string Port string UnvalidatedInput string } class PersonID { AsLoginName() string // "ID-Host" } } ActorID <|-- PersonID ForgeLike *-- PersonID: ActorID namespace user { class User { ID int64 LoginSource int64 LowerName string Name string Email string Passwd string LoginName string Type UserType IsActive bool IsAdmin bool } class ExternalLoginUser { ExternalID string LoginSourceID int64 RawData map[string]any Provider string } } namespace auth { class Source { ID int64 Type Type Name string IsActive bool IsSyncEnabled bool } } User *-- ExternalLoginUser: ExternalLoginUser.UserID User -- Source ExternalLoginUser -- Source ``` ### 3. Map to FederatedUser Would improve the ability to map to the federation source. ```mermaid classDiagram namespace activitypub { class ForgeLike { ID ID Type ActivityVocabularyType // Like Actor Item Object Item } class Actor { ID URL Item Type ActivityVocabularyType // Person Name NaturalLanguageValues PreferredUsername NaturalLanguageValues Inbox Item Outbox Item PublicKey PublicKey } class ActorID { ID string Source string Schema string Path string Host string Port string UnvalidatedInput string } class PersonID { AsLoginName() string // "ID-Host" AsWebfinger() string // "@ID@Host" } } ActorID <|-- PersonID ForgeLike *-- PersonID: ActorID namespace user { class User { ID int64 LowerName string Name string Email string Passwd string LoginName string Type UserType IsActive bool IsAdmin bool } } namespace forgefed { class FederatedUser { ID int64 UserID int64 RawData map[string]any RemoteID string RemoteInfo int64 } class FederationInfo { ID int64 HostFqdn string NodeInfo NodeInfo } } User o-- FederatedUser: FederatedUser.UserID FederatedUser -- FederationInfo PersonID -- FederatedUser : maped by PersonID.ID == FederatedUser.RemoteID ```
