# Atlassian Crowd OmniAuth provider (deprecated) **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/369117) in GitLab 15.3 and is planned for
|
|
removal in 16.0.
|
|
|
|
Authenticate to GitLab using the Atlassian Crowd OmniAuth provider. Enabling
|
|
this provider also allows Crowd authentication for Git-over-https requests.
|
|
|
|
## Configure a new Crowd application
|
|
|
|
1. Choose 'Applications' in the top menu, then 'Add application'.
|
|
1. Go through the 'Add application' steps, entering the appropriate details.
|
|
The screenshot below shows an example configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configure GitLab
|
|
|
|
1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus:**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Source:**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd /home/git/gitlab
|
|
|
|
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. See [Configure initial settings](../../integration/omniauth.md#configure-initial-settings)
|
|
for initial settings.
|
|
|
|
1. Add the provider configuration:
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus:**
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
|
|
{
|
|
name: "crowd",
|
|
# label: "Provider name", # optional label for login button, defaults to "Crowd"
|
|
args: {
|
|
crowd_server_url: "CROWD_SERVER_URL",
|
|
application_name: "YOUR_APP_NAME",
|
|
application_password: "YOUR_APP_PASSWORD"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Source:**
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- { name: 'crowd',
|
|
# label: 'Provider name', # optional label for login button, defaults to "Crowd"
|
|
args: {
|
|
crowd_server_url: 'CROWD_SERVER_URL',
|
|
application_name: 'YOUR_APP_NAME',
|
|
application_password: 'YOUR_APP_PASSWORD' } }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Change `CROWD_SERVER_URL` to the [base URL of your Crowd server](https://confluence.atlassian.com/crowdkb/how-to-change-the-crowd-base-url-245827278.html).
|
|
1. Change `YOUR_APP_NAME` to the application name from Crowd applications page.
|
|
1. Change `YOUR_APP_PASSWORD` to the application password you've set.
|
|
1. Save the configuration file.
|
|
1. [Reconfigure](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) (Omnibus GitLab) or [restart](../restart_gitlab.md#installations-from-source) (source installations) for
|
|
the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
On the sign in page there should now be a Crowd tab in the sign in form.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Error: "could not authorize you from Crowd because invalid credentials"
|
|
|
|
This error sometimes occurs when a user attempts to authenticate with Crowd. The
|
|
Crowd administrator should consult the Crowd log file to know the exact cause of
|
|
this error message.
|
|
|
|
Ensure the Crowd users who must sign in to GitLab are authorized to the
|
|
[application](#configure-a-new-crowd-application) in the **Authorization** step.
|
|
This could be verified by trying "Authentication test" for Crowd (as of 2.11).
