In depth guide on how to proper set up GitLab as an authentication provider

If you've never set up GitLab as an authentication provider before or you prefer following a step by step guide, please consider following this guide.

To correctly set up GitLab as your authentication provider please follow the next steps:

  • Go to git.amvara.de

  • Create a new account

  • On the top left corner of you screen you will find your profile picture. Acess the Preferences menu by clicking there

  • Accessing Preferences will display the User settings, where you can access to the Applications menu and add a new one

  • Give a name to the new application and set redirect_uri to https://<domain>/callback

The default URL when installing on you Desktop or Laptop, is localhost.

  • Configure the necessary scopes (openid, profile, email at minimum) and save the application

If done correctly, you'll be redirected to a new page showing all the application information such as your client_id and secret_id.

  • Retrieve the client_id and secret_id and paste them in ./front/apache-conf/metadata/accounts/git.amvara.de.client

Congratulations! If you arrived here means you've correctly set up your GitLab authentication.

Now you can continue with the installation of Cometa. Please don't forget after this point you may execute ./cometa.sh to bring up a localhost version on your machine.
