GitLab OAuth Setup

Use the GitLab OAuth option to enable your users to log in with the GitLab credentials.

Prerequisites

  • A GitLab application.

  • The application ID and secret.

    • If you don't have a GitLab app, go to GitLab Applications.

    • Fill in the details, select the scopes, and save your app.

    • After the application is created successfully, the OAuth credentials are displayed.

    • Copy the Application ID and Secret.

Configure GitLab OAuth

  • Navigate to OAuth settings (Administration > Workspace > Settings > OAuth) in your workspace.

  • In the GitLab tab, enable OAuth.

  • Fill in the GitLab Id and Client Secret you get from your GitLab app.

  • If you are self-hosting a GitLab instance, enter your GitLab URL. By default, the value is https://gitlab.com.

  • The Identity Path value is appended to the GitLab URL to complete the URL which is used to get the user's information during login.

  • Click Save Changes.

A Sign in with GitLab button appears on your workspace's login page. Users can now Sign in with GitLab by clicking that button!
