Documentation for Curl suggests use of SharedSecret where AdminAPIPass is actually required about matrix-registration

[olmari]

well... "shared secret" IS what the admin api token is... an secret that is shared between the automaton and admin user... So it is not wrong either...

[squarepupil]

I should also mention that the error code if you enter the wrong credential is also misleading: {"errcode":"MR_BAD_SECRET","error":"wrong shared secret"}

This again suggests that it is SharedSecret that we're looking for and not AdminAPIPass

You're suggesting that when I'm asked for "shared secret" I should know to input "admin secret" instead of "shared secret", the one with the same exact name?

As far as I can tell shared_secret here shows a value of RegistrationSharedSecret which seems to me would be:

• For Synapse homeserver the registration_shared_secret
• For Dendrite homeserver the registration_shared_secret

I'm trying to set this up too.

ehm sorry for not being active in so long, real life stuff happened. anywas
@lantrix yeah you're correct it does correspond to these value. idk if it works with dendrite though, i am using a specific synapse api that is not part of the matrix spec.

@squarepupil Before I left I was working on a 1.0.0 release and wanted to rename a lot of variables to make more sense, so I am totally open to renaming these config values.
would registration_shared_secret and admin_api_secret make more sense?
