I have integrated my Gitlab server to my LDAP active directory on my internal network. I already have a JIRA server which is already integrated to this LDAP. I have used the same configuration/usergroup from JIRA in the Gitlab as well and my Gitlab is now successfully hooked to the LDAP.
Now i don’t want everyone who can login to Jira to login to the Gitlab account as well. I only want to allow some specific users.
Is there a settings in Gitlab configuration to achieve this thing?
Let me know if anyone can help on this. It will be hugely appreciated.
You have basically two options:
Allow all JIRA users to login but autoblock all signups with block_auto_created_users. Then you have to manually enable new users.
Use the user_filter option to restrict the users which are allowed to sign-up. Here you have two additional choices. You can filter based on the username or better create a group on your LDAP server and then check the group membership with the memberOf function.

Do you know if there is a way to disable the only verified custom domains usage when new create a new Azure Active Directory user.For example i want to create a user that is using gmail. I have tried to add gmail as custom domain and verify it, but noticed that the steps are related to the dns records of the domain so i cannot do this. I know i can use the invitation service, but i want to directly to create the user without invitation. So did someone experienced this, and if soo i am open for advices.
Have a nice day and stay safe.
It is not possible to create a user in Azure Active Directory that is using Gmail. In order to create a user in Azure Active Directory you need to add your domain and verify in Azure Portal.
You need to get your domain name by Go daddy etc... then you need to add in Azure Active directory and verify it. After that you can create a user name under that domain.
I recommend you to go through this two documents to get more detailed information.
I am attempting to our company's Jenkins from the Jenkins user database + matrix based security to using Google Login Plugin and Role based strategy plugin to give us better control of our user accounts.
With this new set up I am wondering how I could go about creating a designated user which is used by scripts which trigger Jenkins jobs remotely. I would like to do this without having to add a user to our company's GSuite account as this costs a few $ per month. Before the switch to Google Login I could just create a user manually in the Jenkins user database and take the API token from there but since switching to Google Login there is no option to add a user (which makes sense given than the users are managed by Google now). At the moment it seems like I have to choose from:
Use the old approach and forget about authenticating through google. This is not a great result as we want to minimize the number of user accounts we have to set up for new people joining the company to overhead of onboarding.
Use Google Login Plugin and create a new dedicated "Jenkins" user in GSuite for these scripting / requirements. This costs money.
Use an existing users API Token to avoid the cost of a new Google User in our GSuite account. This seems like bad practice which I'll regret at some point.
Is there a workaround which doesn't require a designated GSuite user or repurposing an existing Google users credentials just for this purpose?
I did a similar research a while ago and it seems like there is no way to do so right now.
However, I'm using SAML plugin with GSuite instead of Google Login Plugin, but from Jenkins security perspective I assume they work in the same way.
When you're using such plugin, Jenkins creates a securityRealm in its config. In my case it is:
<securityRealm class="org.jenkinsci.plugins.saml.SamlSecurityRealm" plugin="saml#1.0.7">
Therefore, to have SAML and Jenkins security matrix work simultaneously, you have to have several security realms.
Here is a ticket, which describes this issue, but it's still open

I was also looking at how to trigger builds remotely when using the Google Login Plugin.
I ended up using the "Build Token Root Plugin" which solved this problem, without any need to create a dedicated user for this.
This plugin offers an alternate URI pattern which is not subject to the usual overall or job read permissions. Just issue an Http GET or POST to buildByToken/build?job=NAME&token=SECRET. This URI is accessible to anonymous users regardless of security setup, so you only need the right token.

I don't prefer to allow sign up to anyone in private gitlab instance until explicitly invited to projects in gitlab.
Is there any way to allow only those users to sign up to whom you send the invitation?
cheers,
ijaz
You can disable sign up, but you (as admin) would have to sign them up.
I'm not aware of any e-mail invitation system.

If you use LDAP or OmniAuth, you can block auto created users, and then you'd have only need to unblock each user you would like to allow.
(Note: you'd have to configure OmniAuth or LDAP)
My campus runs a gitlab server. I am a user, not an admin. Campus policy forbids giving LDAP access to off-campus collaborators/co-authors, but has no problem in principle with allowing such folks to have "Developer" level access to non-public repositories on an invitational basis. Is it possible to have my off-campus colleagues send me an SSH key, and have the gitlab admin create a no-login user with that key who I could then add as a "Developer" member to selected projects? If it's do-able, what's the magic process so I can pass it along to the IT support folks?
Ask your IT support team to create Gitlab account with specific permissions for those developers without LDAP account. And then simply add them to the repositories and ask them to upload ssh keys.
At the moment I'm running Jenkins on my Mac Mini and everybody in my local network can access the web dashboard at the address http://<JenkisIP>:8080. How can I setup username and password credentials to limit the access to it?
You want to check the enable security feature in the configure menu, select "Jenkins's own user database" as the security realm and then alter the security matrix to suit your requirements.
For the first run, give everyone full access. Allow users to sign up, create your own account (if you don't have one) and then give full privileges to that account and remove all privileges to anonymous.
