GitLab

Backend class

For Django, add this class path to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting.

Backend name	Class path
gitlab	social_core.backends.gitlab.GitLabOAuth2

GitLab supports OAuth2 protocol.

• Register a new application at GitLab Applications.

• Set the callback URL to http://example.com/complete/gitlab/ replacing example.com with your domain. Drop the trailing slash if the project doesn’t use it, the URL must match the value sent.

• Ensure to mark the read_user scope. If marking api scope too, define:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_GITLAB_SCOPE = ['api']
  

• Fill the Client ID and Client Secret values from GitLab in the settings:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_GITLAB_KEY = ''
  SOCIAL_AUTH_GITLAB_SECRET = ''
  

If your GitLab setup resides in another domain, then add the following setting:

SOCIAL_AUTH_GITLAB_API_URL = 'https://example.com'

it must be the full url to your GitLab setup.
