|
|
The keys are a config option on the home server config. If they are not
|
|
|
|
|
visible, you can generate them via --generate-config. Set the following value::
|

|
|
|
|
2015-03-30 11:27:42 -06:00
|
|
|
recaptcha_public_key: YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY
|
2015-03-30 11:18:19 -06:00
|
|
|
recaptcha_private_key: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, you MUST enable captchas via::
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enable_registration_captcha: true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring IP used for auth
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
The ReCaptcha API requires that the IP address of the user who solved the
|
|
|
|
|
captcha is sent. If the client is connecting through a proxy or load balancer,
|
|
|
|
|
it may be required to use the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header instead of the origin
|
2017-02-08 22:21:02 -07:00
|
|
|
IP address. This can be configured using the x_forwarded directive in the
|
|
|
|
|
listeners section of the homeserver.yaml configuration file.
