We don't need to do all the magic for mapping users when we are doing UIA, so let's factor that out.

(There's a tangentially-related commit here which removes the use of BaseHandler. I can pull it out to a separate PR if desired, but I hope it's small enough.)

Looks good! I left a few questions but I don't think the answers block merging this.

This seems to end up storing "" into the database table for the user credentials. Then eventually gets compared to requester.user.to_string(), which fails. So seems sane.

(To be clear -- I was just wondering how this worked and figured I'd save the trouble of anyone else looking at this PR.)

Do you see any use for it? I don't think any of the custom mapping providers I know of use it. I guess there isn't a huge harm in keeping it though.

No, I don't see any use for it, but changing the api for the mapping providers is annoying.

Does it make sense to push this try-except across the whole function like this? We don't really expect most of this code to raise exceptions and it is usually bad-practice to over-expand try-blocks.

(The same goes for the SAML code.)

maybe not, actually. I can't quite remember why I did this. I'll tighten it up.

Should this only be MappingException?

well, I don't think so.

We used to catch all exceptions (and turn them into MappingExceptions) at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/8881/files#diff-b70d930a35a860a3c89284899c7c71ead788407bb579dca9d2d2d82dd4cf321dR870-R873, so I'm just copying that. (In this case we can log the exception immediately, rather than turning it into a MappingException for a higher-level method to catch).

Ah, makes sense. Just differs a bit from the SAML code is why I was asking. It seems fine. 👍

Synapse 1.25.0rc1 (2021-01-06)
==============================

Removal warning
---------------

The old [Purge Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/purge_room.md)
and [Shutdown Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/shutdown_room.md)
are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. They will be replaced by the
[Delete Room API](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tree/master/docs/admin_api/rooms.md#delete-room-api).

`POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete` replaces `POST /_synapse/admin/v1/purge_room` and

Synapse 1.25.0 (2021-01-13)
===========================

Ending Support for Python 3.5 and Postgres 9.5
----------------------------------------------

With this release, the Synapse team is announcing a formal deprecation policy for our platform dependencies, like Python and PostgreSQL:

All future releases of Synapse will follow the upstream end-of-life schedules.

Which means:

* This is the last release which guarantees support for Python 3.5.
* We will end support for PostgreSQL 9.5 early next month.
* We will end support for Python 3.6 and PostgreSQL 9.6 near the end of the year.

Crucially, this means __we will not produce .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) or Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)__ beyond the transition period described below.

The website https://endoflife.date/ has convenient summaries of the support schedules for projects like [Python](https://endoflife.date/python) and [PostgreSQL](https://endoflife.date/postgresql).

If you are unable to upgrade your environment to a supported version of Python or Postgres, we encourage you to consider using the [Synapse Docker images](./INSTALL.md#docker-images-and-ansible-playbooks) instead.

### Transition Period

We will make a good faith attempt to avoid breaking compatibility in all releases through the end of March 2021. However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate breaking compatibility earlier.

We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition period.
