Why is GitLab SSO not working?
Why is GitLab SSO not working?
It is likely that you have misconfigured your self-hosted instance of Infisical. You should:
- Check that you have set the
CLIENT_ID_GITLAB_LOGIN
,CLIENT_SECRET_GITLAB_LOGIN
,AUTH_SECRET
, andSITE_URL
environment variables. - Check that the Redirect URI specified in GitLab matches the
SITE_URL
environment variable. For example, if the former ishttps://app.infisical.com/api/v1/sso/gitlab
then the latter should behttps://app.infisical.com
