# OmniAuth
|
|
|
|
GitLab leverages OmniAuth to allow users to sign in using Twitter, GitHub, and
|
|
other popular services.
|
|
|
|
Configuring OmniAuth does not prevent standard GitLab authentication or LDAP
|
|
(if configured) from continuing to work. Users can choose to sign in using any
|
|
of the configured mechanisms.

## Supported Providers
|
|
|
|
This is a list of the current supported OmniAuth providers. Before proceeding
|
|
on each provider's documentation, make sure to first read this document as it
|
|
contains some settings that are common for all providers.
|

|
|
- [GitHub](github.md)
|
|

## Initial OmniAuth Configuration
|
|
|
|
Before configuring individual OmniAuth providers there are a few global settings
|
|
that are in common for all providers that we need to consider.
|
|
|
|
- Omniauth needs to be enabled, see details below for example.
|
|
- `allow_single_sign_on` allows you to specify the providers you want to allow to
|
|
automatically create an account. It defaults to `false`. If `false` users must
|
|
be created manually or they will not be able to sign in via OmniAuth.
|
|
- `block_auto_created_users` defaults to `true`. If `true` auto created users will
|
|
be blocked by default and will have to be unblocked by an administrator before
|
|
they are able to sign in.
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
|
If you set `block_auto_created_users` to `false`, make sure to only
|
|
define providers under `allow_single_sign_on` that you are able to control, like
|
|
SAML, Shibboleth, Crowd or Google, or set it to `false` otherwise any user on
|
|
the Internet will be able to successfully sign in to your GitLab without
|
|
administrative approval.
|
|
|
|
To change these settings:
|
|
|
|
* **For omnibus package**
|
|
|
|
Open the configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and change:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gitlab_rails['omniauth_enabled'] = true
|
|
|
|
# CAUTION!
|
|
# This allows users to login without having a user account first. Define the allowed providers
|
|
# using an array, e.g. ["saml", "twitter"], or as true/false to allow all providers or none.
|
|
# User accounts will be created automatically when authentication was successful.
|
|
gitlab_rails['omniauth_allow_single_sign_on'] = ['saml', 'twitter']
|
|
gitlab_rails['omniauth_block_auto_created_users'] = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **For installations from source**
|
|
|
|
Open the configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd /home/git/gitlab
|
|
|
|
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and change the following section:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
## OmniAuth settings
|
|
omniauth:
|
|
# Allow login via Twitter, Google, etc. using OmniAuth providers
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
|
|
# CAUTION!
|
|
# This allows users to login without having a user account first. Define the allowed providers
|
|
# using an array, e.g. ["saml", "twitter"], or as true/false to allow all providers or none.
|
|
# User accounts will be created automatically when authentication was successful.
|
|
allow_single_sign_on: ["saml", "twitter"]
|
|
|
|
# Locks down those users until they have been cleared by the admin (default: true).
|
|
block_auto_created_users: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now we can choose one or more of the Supported Providers listed above to continue
|
|
the configuration process.
|
|
|
|
## Enable OmniAuth for an Existing User
|
|
|
|
Existing users can enable OmniAuth for specific providers after the account is
|
|
created. For example, if the user originally signed in with LDAP, an OmniAuth
|
|
provider such as Twitter can be enabled. Follow the steps below to enable an
|
|
OmniAuth provider for an existing user.
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in normally - whether standard sign in, LDAP, or another OmniAuth provider.
|
|
1. Go to profile settings (the silhouette icon in the top right corner).
|
|
1. Select the "Account" tab.
|
|
1. Under "Connected Accounts" select the desired OmniAuth provider, such as Twitter.
|
|
1. The user will be redirected to the provider. Once the user authorized GitLab
|
|
they will be redirected back to GitLab.
|
|
|
|
The chosen OmniAuth provider is now active and can be used to sign in to GitLab from then on.
|
|
|
|
## Using Custom Omniauth Providers
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
|
The following information only applies for installations from source.
|
|
|
|
GitLab uses [Omniauth](http://www.omniauth.org/) for authentication and already ships
|
|
with a few providers pre-installed (e.g. LDAP, GitHub, Twitter). But sometimes that
|
|
is not enough and you need to integrate with other authentication solutions. For
|
|
these cases you can use the Omniauth provider.
|
|
|
|
### Steps
|
|
|
|
These steps are fairly general and you will need to figure out the exact details
|
|
from the Omniauth provider's documentation.
|
|
|
|
- Stop GitLab:
|
|
|
|
sudo service gitlab stop
|
|
|
|
- Add the gem to your [Gemfile](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/Gemfile):
|
|
|
|
gem "omniauth-your-auth-provider"
|
|
|
|
- If you're using MySQL, install the new Omniauth provider gem by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --path vendor/bundle --no-deployment
|
|
|
|
- If you're using PostgreSQL, install the new Omniauth provider gem by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --path vendor/bundle --no-deployment
|
|
|
|
> These are the same commands you used in the [Install Gems section](#install-gems) with `--path vendor/bundle --no-deployment` instead of `--deployment`.
|
|
|
|
- Start GitLab:
|
|
|
|
sudo service gitlab start
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
If you have successfully set up a provider that is not shipped with GitLab itself,
|
|
please let us know.
|
|
|
|
You can help others by reporting successful configurations and probably share a
|
|
few insights or provide warnings for common errors or pitfalls by sharing your
|
|
experience [in the public Wiki](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-public-wiki/wiki/Custom-omniauth-provider-configurations).
|
|
|
|
While we can't officially support every possible authentication mechanism out there,
|
|
we'd like to at least help those with specific needs.
