This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in
the history of Tailscale's open source releases.
A Brief History of AUTHORS files
---
The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for
Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem
was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing
Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source
projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each
contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors
then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE
file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a
tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the
license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact.
The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the
copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then
include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The
Chromium Authors".
This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a
high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the
copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the
contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way
for the proejct maintainer to know.
Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to
keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to
it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors.
They are also clear that:
> Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the
> project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership.
It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors
that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was
entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even
the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright
holders.
In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists
Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes
confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header
in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so
it's ambiguous what that means.
Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever
they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We
also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which
provides some additional certification of their right to make the
contribution.
The source file changes were purely mechanical with:
git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g'

An error returned by net.Listener.Accept() causes the owning http.Server to shut down.
With the deprecation of net.Error.Temporary(), there's no way for the http.Server to test
whether the returned error is temporary / retryable or not (see golang/go#66252).
Because of that, errors returned by (*safesocket.winIOPipeListener).Accept() cause the LocalAPI
server (aka ipnserver.Server) to shut down, and tailscaled process to exit.
While this might be acceptable in the case of non-recoverable errors, such as programmer errors,
we shouldn't shut down the entire tailscaled process for client- or connection-specific errors,
such as when we couldn't obtain the client's access token because the client attempts to connect
at the Anonymous impersonation level. Instead, the LocalAPI server should gracefully handle
these errors by denying access and returning a 401 Unauthorized to the client.
In tailscale/tscert#15, we fixed a known bug where Caddy and other apps using tscert would attempt
to connect at the Anonymous impersonation level and fail. However, we should also fix this on the tailscaled
side to prevent a potential DoS, where a local app could deliberately open the Tailscale LocalAPI named pipe
at the Anonymous impersonation level and cause tailscaled to exit.
In this PR, we defer token retrieval until (*WindowsClientConn).Token() is called and propagate the returned token
or error via ipnauth.GetConnIdentity() to ipnserver, which handles it the same way as other ipnauth-related errors.

IsMacSysApp is not returning the correct answer... It looks like the

updates tailscale/corp#25687
The darwin appstore and standalone clients now support XPC and the keychain for passing user credentials securely between the gui process and an NEVPNExtension hosted tailscaled. Clients that can communicate directly with the network extension, via XPC or the keychain, are now expected to call SetCredentials and supply credentials explicitly, fixing issues with the cli breaking if the current user cannot read the contents of /Library/Tailscale due to group membership restrictions. This matches how those clients source and supply credentials to the localAPI http client.
Non-platform-specific code that has traditionally been in the client is moved to safesocket.
/Libraray/Tailscaled/sameuserproof has its permissions changed to that it's readably only by users in the admin group. This restricts standalone CLI access for and direct use of localAPI to admins.

We can safely disable the App Sandbox for our macsys GUI, allowing us to use `tailscale ssh` and do a few other things that we've wanted to do for a while. This PR:
- allows Tailscale SSH to be used from the macsys GUI binary when called from a CLI
- tweaks the detection of client variants in prop.go, with new functions `IsMacSys()`, `IsMacSysApp()` and `IsMacAppSandboxEnabled()`

Use the helper method from the version package to detect that we are

well as the name of the executable (which is needed for the web client).

This type seems to be a migration shim for TCP tailscaled sockets
(instead of unix/windows pipes). The `port` field was never set, so it
was effectively used as a string (`path` field).
Remove the whole type and simplify call sites to pass the socket path
directly to `safesocket.Connect`.

On Windows, the idiomatic way to check access on a named pipe is for
the server to impersonate the client on its current OS thread, perform
access checks using the client's access token, and then revert the OS
thread's access token back to its true self.
The access token is a better representation of the client's rights than just
a username/userid check, as it represents the client's effective rights
at connection time, which might differ from their normal rights.
This patch updates safesocket to do the aforementioned impersonation,
extract the token handle, and then revert the impersonation. We retain
the token handle for the remaining duration of the connection (the token
continues to be valid even after we have reverted back to self).
Since the token is a property of the connection, I changed ipnauth to wrap
the concrete net.Conn to include the token. I then plumbed that change
through ipnlocal, ipnserver, and localapi as necessary.
I also added a PermitLocalAdmin flag to the localapi Handler which I intend
to use for controlling access to a few new localapi endpoints intended
for configuring auto-update.

PR #9217 attempted to fix the same issue, but suffered from not letting the
user connect to non-oss tailscaled if something was listening on the socket, as
the --socket flag doesn't let you select the mac apps.
Rather than leave the user unable to choose, we keep the mac/socket preference
order the same and check a bit harder whether the macsys version really is
running. Now, we prefer the App Store Tailscale (even if it's Stopped) and you
can use --socket to sswitch. But if you quit the App Store Tailscale, we'll try
the socket without needing the flag.

Tested three macOS Tailscale daemons:
- App Store (Network Extension)
- Standalone (macsys)
- tailscaled
And two types of local IPC each:
- IPN
- HTTP
And two CLI modes:
- sandboxed (running the GUI binary as the CLI; normal way)
- open source CLI hitting GUI (with #4525)
Bonus: simplifies the code.

fee2d9fad added support for cmd/tailscale to connect to IPNExtension.
It came in two parts: If no socket was provided, dial IPNExtension first,
and also, if dialing the socket failed, fall back to IPNExtension.
The second half of that support caused the integration tests to fail
when run on a machine that was also running IPNExtension.
The integration tests want to wait until the tailscaled instances
that they spun up are listening. They do that by dialing the new
instance. But when that dial failed, it was falling back to IPNExtension,
so it appeared (incorrectly) that tailscaled was running.
Hilarity predictably ensued.
If a user (or a test) explicitly provides a socket to dial,
it is a reasonable assumption that they have a specific tailscaled
in mind and don't want to fall back to IPNExtension.
It is certainly true of the integration tests.
Instead of adding a bool to Connect, split out the notion of a
connection strategy. For now, the implementation remains the same,
but with the details hidden a bit. Later, we can improve that.
