-Email Authentication
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-While this module helps in authenticating with diaspora, we need to set up mxisd_ for supporting
-authentication through email.
-
-Installation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Follow the instructions `here <https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md#install>`_
-
-Configuration & Setup
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Follow `this <https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md#configure>`_.
-
-Basically, if you used the debian package, you just need to set up the ``matrix.domain`` first.
-
-And then, add these lines to ``mxisd.yaml``:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-    sql:
-      enabled: true
-      type: mysql
-      connection: "//<HOST>/<DATABASE>?user=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>"
-      identity:
-        type: 'uid'
-        query: "select (case when ?='email' then username else null end) as uid from users where email=?"
-
-Where ``<HOST>``, ``<DATABASE>``, ``<USERNAME>`` and ``<PASSWORD>`` are your database host, diaspora database, user and password you created when you set up database for synapse-diaspora-auth
-
-Now follow the steps `given here <https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/authentication.md#advanced>`_. ie, forward the ``/_matrix/client/r0/login`` endpoint to mxisd and add
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-    dns.overwrite.homeserver.client:
-      - name: '<DOMAIN>'
-        value: 'http://localhost:8008'
-
-where ``<DOMAIN>`` is your matrix server name.
-
-An Apache2 reverse proxy example is already `provided here <https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/authentication.md#apache2>`_. An example nginx configuration would be this:
-
-.. code::
-
-    location /_matrix/client/r0/login {
-        proxy_pass http://localhost:8090/_matrix/client/r0/login;
-        proxy_set_header Host $host;
-        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
-        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
-    }
-
-Make sure to put this above other matrix reverse proxy directives. And Congrats! You now have a competely integrated synapse - diaspora setup! :D
