Clarify GitLab login procedures #76

Open wwarriner opened 2 years ago

wwarriner commented 2 years ago

Currently we don't use SSO for gitlab so the expectations of which credentials are valid is not clear. We need to clarify that all users must use their UAB or XIAS login or won't be allowed access.

Come to think of it maybe we need a page on GitLab to begin with :)

From JPR:

Regarding xias and gitlab.  You need a xias account and we have to manually add it to gitlab.
Then you log in to gitlab  with that account on the Laval account tab not LDAP tab.
This is our work around until we have SSO.

Users will have to make a request to support@listserv.uab.edu to obtain a gitlab account if they are a XIAS user

Login should happen on the standard tab

Here is the order of operations for a blazerid user getting access:

  1. Use blazerid credentials to login at https://gitlab.rc.uab.edu on the LDAP tab.

For a XIAS user:

  1. Sponsor must add "https://gitlab.rc.uab.edu" to the URIs needing access on the XIAS site
  2. The XIAS user should send us an email at support@listserv.uab.edu requesting access to gitlab.
  3. Once granted, login at the site with XIAS credentials (the part of their XIAS email before "@") on the "Standard" tab
