Git Lab

This document provides instructions for integrating a GitLab server with GitLab.com to enable importing projects from GitLab.com and logging into the GitLab server using a GitLab.com account. It describes registering an application with GitLab.com to obtain client ID and secret keys, editing the GitLab server configuration file to add the GitLab.com OAuth provider settings using the keys, and restarting GitLab for the changes to take effect. After completing these steps, a GitLab.com login option will appear on the GitLab server sign in page to authenticate with GitLab.com.

Integrate your server with GitLab.com


Import projects from GitLab.com and login to your GitLab instance with your GitLab.com account.

To enable the GitLab.com OmniAuth provider you must register your application with GitLab.com.
GitLab.com will generate an application ID and secret key for you to use.

1. Sign in to GitLab.com

2. Navigate to your profile settings.

3. Select "Applications" in the left menu.

4. Select "New application".

5. Provide the required details.

Name: This can be anything. Consider something like <Organization>'s GitLab or <Your Name>'s
GitLab or something else descriptive.
Redirect URI:

http://your-gitlab.example.com/import/gitlab/callback
http://your-gitlab.example.com/users/auth/gitlab/callback

The first link is required for the importer and second for the authorization.

6. Select "Submit".

7. You should now see a Client ID and Client Secret near the top right of the page (see screenshot). Keep
this page open as you continue configuration.

For omnibus package:

sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

For installations from source:

cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml

9. See Initial OmniAuth Configuration (omniauth.md#initial-omniauth-configuration) for initial settings.

10. Add the provider configuration:

For omnibus package:

gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
{
"name" => "gitlab",
"app_id" => "YOUR_APP_ID",
"app_secret" => "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
"args" => { "scope" => "api" }
}
]

For installations from source:

- { name: 'gitlab', app_id: 'YOUR_APP_ID',


app_secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
args: { scope: 'api' } }

11. Change 'YOUR_APP_ID' to the Application ID from the GitLab.com application page.

12. Change 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' to the secret from the GitLab.com application page.

13. Save the configuration file.

14. Reconfigure (../administration/restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) or restart GitLab


(../administration/restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source) for the changes to take effect if you
installed GitLab via Omnibus or from source respectively.

On the sign in page there should now be a GitLab.com icon below the regular sign in form. Click the icon to
begin the authentication process. GitLab.com will ask the user to sign in and authorize the GitLab
application. If everything goes well the user will be returned to your GitLab instance and will be signed in.
