Synapse deactive user

gistfile1.txt

#!/bin/bash
echo -e "\e[97mPlease enter password for Synapse/Matrix root user:\e[0m";
read -s password
echo -e "\e[97mEnter user you'd like to deactivate\e[0m";
read user

url_user=`echo -n "$user" | jq -s -R -r @uri`

json=`curl -s --insecure -XPOST -d '{"type":"m.login.password", "user":"root", "password":"'$password'"}' "https://localhost:8448/_matrix/client/r0/login"`
access_token=`echo "$json" | jq -r ".access_token"`

curl --insecure -XPOST -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
  '{}' "https://localhost:8448/_matrix/client/r0/admin/deactivate/$url_user"

1. It might be easier to just extract the access_token from a running admin-user session (e.g. through settings in riot-web)

2. If you are going the login-first way you propably want to add a call to remove the new session as well. If you else run this script very often you will have a lot of sessions which it might get hard to delete all of them (especially as it might get hard to distinguish the "real" from the one-time access_tokens)

what is jq? My computer doesn't have that

oh, it's a command. I was able to install.

@rgpublic
it doesn't look like you're script works anymore as it looks like the API endpoint has changed

from
https://localhost:8448/_matrix/client/r0/admin/deactivate/$url_user

to
https://localhost:8448/_synapse/admin/v1/deactivate/$url_user

other than that the script works well and it's very helpful
