Authenticating GitLab Enterprise Access Using OAuth
Last updated
Last updated
If you are using a private GitLab VCS on a private deployment, you can use a very similar process as for the cloud-based GitLab VCS systems to access your local repositories.
Login into GitLab nterprise and hover over the sidebar to make it appear. Then, click on the User avatar icon at the top right of the sidebar.
The Preferences menu offers a number of configurable options. Again hover over the sidebar icon to have it reappear with new choices. OAuth is managed under the Applications option.
The Applications page is essentially the same as the GitLab Cloud version.
The most significant difference between the Cloud and the Private version is that the callback URL is different. You MUST replace the text: gitlab
with enterprise-gitlab
as shown in the screen display above.
As before, select both the Confidential and the api options. Once you click on Save Application you get the success window with the Application ID and Secret as before. All remaining steps are as described for the GitLab Cloud instructions.
