Bearer Authentication for Git Repos (enabled Bitbucket repository HTTP access tokens)

[benruland]

Summary

Bitbucket Data Center and potentially other Git servers provide Bearer-Authentication to authenticate against Git Repositories. ArgoCD should support this kind of authentication for Git-over-HTTP.

Motivation

Project / repository HTTP access tokens are the preferred way to connect to Bitbucket repositories in Bitbucket Data Center.

For HTTP access tokens on a project and repository level, Bearer authentication seems to be the only working authentication method. While basic authentication works for user HTTP access tokens HTTP basic auth is not working for these project / repository HTTP access tokens:

git clone -c http.extraHeader='Authorization: Bearer MDM0MjM5NDc2MDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' https://bitbucketserver.com/scm/projectname/teamsinspace.git

Any update on this?? It is required in my current project as bitbucket repo access tokens are not working using the username/password mechanism. Please let us know if there is any plan to add this functionality.

This topic would also be interesting for my use case. Are there any updates?

When using the Project/Repository Access Token, configure the Argocd Repository connection as follows:

Repository URL: https://bitbucket.org/{workspace}/{repository}.git
Username: x-token-auth
Password: {repository_access_token}

Did anyone get this working? Using x-token-auth as the user with the bitbucket data center bearer token is still throwing me an authentication required error. I've tried using a project based token as well as a repository based token.

This doesn't work! It looks like argo-cd just doesn't support bearer tokens.
