## (Compatibility Break) ma1sd identity server no longer installed by default
The playbook no longer installs the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) identity server by default. The next time you run the playbook, ma1sd will be uninstalled from your server, unless you explicitly enable the ma1sd service (see how below).
The main reason we used to install ma1sd by default in the past was to prevent Element from talking to the `matrix.org` / `vector.im` identity servers, by forcing it to talk to our own self-hosted (but otherwise useless) identity server instead, thus preventing contact list leaks.
Since Element no longer defaults to using a public identity server if another one is not provided, we can stop installing ma1sd.
If you need to install the ma1sd identity server for some reason, you can explicitly enable it by adding this to your `vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_ma1sd_enabled: true
```

To make the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server (which this playbook may optionally install for you) enable its federation features, set up an SRV record that looks like this:
- Name: `_matrix-identity._tcp` (use this text as-is)
- Content: `10 0 443 matrix.<your-domain>` (replace `<your-domain>` with your own)
This is an optional feature. See [ma1sd's documentation](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/wiki/mxisd-and-your-privacy#choices-are-never-easy) for information on the privacy implications of setting up this SRV record.
This is an optional feature for the optionally-installed [ma1sd service](configuring-playbook-ma1sd.md). See [ma1sd's documentation](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/wiki/mxisd-and-your-privacy#choices-are-never-easy) for information on the privacy implications of setting up this SRV record.
Note: This `_matrix-identity._tcp` SRV record for the identity server is different from the `_matrix._tcp` that can be used for Synapse delegation. See [howto-server-delegation.md](howto-server-delegation.md) for more information about delegation.

# Adjusting ma1sd Identity Server configuration (optional)
By default, this playbook configures an [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server for you.
The playbook can configure the [ma1sd](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd) Identity Server for you.
ma1sd, being an Identity Server, is not strictly needed. It is only used for 3PIDs (3rd party identifiers like E-mail and phone numbers) and some [enhanced features](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/#features).
This server is private by default, potentially at the expense of user discoverability.
*ma1sd is a fork of [mxisd](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd) which was pronounced end of life 2019-06-21.*
**Note**: enabling ma1sd (which is also the default), means that the `openid` API endpoints will be exposed on the Matrix Federation port (usually `8448`), even if [federation](configuring-playbook-federation.md) is disabled. It's something to be aware of, especially in terms of firewall whitelisting (make sure port `8448` is accessible).

## Disabling ma1sd
ma1sd, being an Identity Server, is not strictly needed. It is only used for 3PIDs (3rd party identifiers like E-mail and phone numbers) and some [enhanced features](https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/#features).
If you'd like for the playbook to not install ma1sd (or to uninstall it if it was previously installed), you can disable it in your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
To enable ma1sd, use the following additional configuration in your `vars.yml` file:
```yaml
matrix_ma1sd_enabled: false
matrix_ma1sd_enabled: true
```
## Matrix.org lookup forwarding
To ensure maximum discovery, you can make your identity server also forward lookups to the central matrix.org Identity server (at the cost of potentially leaking all your contacts information).
