Since last week, we have changed the login mechanism for Matrix. As we did a few months ago with the Cloud, we have also integrated Matrix with the unified login (Single Sign-on).
TL;DR: On 27.06.2024, all clients will get logged out of the cloud and have to login again. Twofactor authentication needs to be setup again as well.
With a systemli account you get access to different services: mail, cloud and matrix. The fact that you can login to all of them with the same username and password often causes confusion. And for us admins the current integrations imposed some technical problems as well.
In November 2023, it became public that the largest Russian Jabber server (jabber.ru) was the target of a machine-in-the-middle attack (MITM). This involved redirecting traffic from the servers, which allowed the attackers to issue valid TLS certificates and thereby capture the contents of the Jabber server. What is particularly sensitive is the fact that the servers are hosted in Germany. This gave us the impetus to introduce a new security measure that will make such attacks on systemli.org services and websites much more difficult.
