Application Automation connect to company GitLab

kduchrow — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 09:34:42 GMT

Hi,

currently, I trying to connect our company Gitlab to .

First of all, it looks like, there is a typo in the UI for connecting to the Gitlab instance:

Secondly, I am struggling with the authentication to GitLab. As in the Setup mentioned I created an Application on the GitLab instance but I have no clue where to get the Callback URL from.

I already tried different URLs like "https://[tenantURL].qlikcloud.com/login/callback" or "https://[tenantURL].qlikcloud.com/auth0/callback" but nothing really works.
There is always these error message while linking the connection:

An error has occurred

The redirect URI included is not valid.

Does someone know which URI I need to enter here or where do I get this from?
Maybe this should also be explained within the Setup of the Gitlab Connection.

Thanks in advance

Can you use the value https://connector.qlikcloud.com/callback and let me know if it works? I will update the Setup article for the connector to have this included.

Hi,

thank you for your Answer !
Unfortunately, this hint did not fix the problem completely.
But, there is a new error Message:

An error has occurred

The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed.

Maybe I should respect the tenant URL?

That would appear to be an issue with the scopes being provided. When you configured an app in the Gitlab platform, which scopes were you able to assign?

The scopes that we are requesting in our authorize request are the following: api read_user read_api read_repository write_repository read_registry write_registry openid profile email.

Oh ok, yes this could be a problem. Basically, I'm able to assign every scope, but usually, I would like only read access for App Automation on GitLab.

Are some of them obligatory for App Automation?
This is my current configuration:

Thank you !

At this point we do unfortunately not have a solution to modify the scope requests.

Nice, thank you for your hints! The connection works!
I added some more Scopes. Here it would be nice to be able to restrict the Application only to read access. This could also be absolutely necessary for productive use. But for my testing, it's ok for now.

Hi @JyotiChoudhary_S

Are you sure that you have provided valid credentials while connecting to Gitlab and selected all the scopes apart from sudo scope in your app?

If yes, could you please share the connection guid to further look into our logs to see what's going wrong.

Hi @JyotiChoudhary_S

Sorry to hear that.

I will add the steps here on how to get connection guid.

Connection GUID may be needed by Qlik Support to help with further troubleshooting as we can identify potential issues using the GUID provided.

This will require the use of your browser's debug tools.

In the automation experiencing the issue, navigate to the Connections (1) view.
Open your browser's debug tools and open the Network (2) tab.
Search for Connections (3)
Click on Connections (4) in the Name tab
Select Preview (5)
Locate the Connector by name and expand it. Copy the GUID
Send this GUID to support.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
