Use API token #62

Open bersace opened 7 years ago

bersace commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Here at work, mattermost is behind an HTTP proxy filtering HTTP auth. We can use mattermost desktop client because it allows to open a session through a web form.

I read the GitLab cookie option and though it might be a good idea to accept API token as well. Do you know if this is possible ?

Thanks for this plugin. It looks lean and is very useful ! :-)

Regards,

Do you have some links to info about an "api token" method?

bersace commented 7 years ago

@EionRobb i didn't find this. Sorry for the noise !

EionRobb commented 7 years ago

I'm kinda curious now, can you explain more about the API token option for auth? How do you auth normally with your Mattermost server?

Hi,

I misunderstood the behaviour of mattermost and GitLab integration. In the documentation, I don't find any mention of API token based auth. We should ask mattermost maintainers.

Hi @EionRobb, do you have a idea why not close this issue ? Regards and happy new year ;-)

Perhaps we should start from here? https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html

A personal access token should make it possible to use the REST API (and probably also the websocket).

See https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/personal-access-tokens.html and https://api.mattermost.com/ .
