Part of: https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/19415 Return `M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED` error code instead of the unstable `IO.ELEMENT.MSC4190.M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED` identifier. > Servers MUST still allow application services to use the `/register` endpoint with a login type of `m.login.application_service` even if they don't support the Legacy Authentication API. In that case application services MUST set the `"inhibit_login": true` parameter as they cannot use it to log in as users. If the `inhibit_login` parameter is not set to `true`, the server MUST return a 400 HTTP status code with an `M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED` error code. > > [...] > > Application services MUST NOT use the `/login` endpoint if the server doesn't support the Legacy authentication API. If `/login` is called with the `m.login.application_service` login type the server MUST return a 400 HTTP status code with an `M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED` error code. > > — [Matrix v1.19, Application Service API](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.19/application-service-api/#registration) Synapse returns the correct 400 on both endpoints, but with the unstable identifier. Before: ``` POST /_matrix/client/v3/login {"type": "m.login.application_service", ...} # appservice with MSC4190 device management POST /_matrix/client/v3/register {"type": "m.login.application_service", ...} # without "inhibit_login": true 400 {"errcode": "IO.ELEMENT.MSC4190.M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED"} ``` After: ``` POST /_matrix/client/v3/login {"type": "m.login.application_service", ...} # appservice with MSC4190 device management POST /_matrix/client/v3/register {"type": "m.login.application_service", ...} # without "inhibit_login": true 400 {"errcode": "M_APPSERVICE_LOGIN_UNSUPPORTED"} ``` A Sister PR exists in MAS: https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service/pull/5961 ; when delegation is enabled, `/login` reaches MAS instead of Synapse, and MAS currently answers `m.login.application_service` with `M_UNKNOWN`.
