# External Authentication
|
|
|
|
Coder supports external authentication via OAuth2.0. This allows enabling any OAuth provider as well as integrations with Git providers,
|
|
such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
|
|
|
|
External authentication can also be used to integrate with external services
|
|
like JFrog Artifactory and others.
|
|
|
|
To add an external authentication provider, you'll need to create an OAuth
|
|
application. The following providers have been tested and work with Coder:
|
|
|
|
- [Azure DevOps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/integrate/get-started/authentication/oauth?view=azure-devops)
|
|
- [Azure DevOps (via Entra ID)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/architecture/auth-oauth2)
|
|
- [BitBucket](https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/use-oauth-on-bitbucket-cloud/)
|
|
- [GitHub](#github)
|
|
- [GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/oauth_provider.html)
|
|
|
|
If you have experience with a provider that is not listed here, please
|
|
[file an issue](https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/new?title=request%28docs%29%3A+external-auth+-+request+title+here%0D%0A&labels=["customer-feedback","docs"]&body=doc%3A+%5Bexternal-auth%5D%28https%3A%2F%2Fcoder.com%2Fdocs%2Fadmin%2Fexternal-auth%29%0D%0A%0D%0Aplease+enter+your+request+here%0D%0A)
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
After you create an OAuth application, set environment variables to configure the Coder server to use it:
|
|
|
|
```env
|
|
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_ID="<USER_DEFINED_ID>"
|
|
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_TYPE=<github|gitlab|azure-devops|bitbucket-cloud|bitbucket-server|etc>
|
|
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_CLIENT_ID=<OAuth app client ID>
|
|
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_CLIENT_SECRET=<OAuth app client secret>
|
|
|
|
# Optionally, configure a custom display name and icon:
|
|
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_DISPLAY_NAME="Google Calendar"
|
|
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_DISPLAY_ICON="https://mycustomicon.com/google.svg"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_ID` environment variable is used for internal
|
|
reference. Set it with a value that helps you identify it. For example, you can use `CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_ID="primary-github"` for your
|
|
GitHub provider.
|
|
|
|
Add the following code to any template to add a button to the workspace setup page which will allow you to authenticate with your provider:
|
|
|
|
```tf
|
|
data "coder_external_auth" "<github|gitlab|azure-devops|bitbucket-cloud|bitbucket-server|other>" {
|
|
id = "<USER_DEFINED_ID>"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# GitHub Example (CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_ID="primary-github")
|
|
# makes a GitHub authentication token available at data.coder_external_auth.github.access_token
|
|
data "coder_external_auth" "github" {
|
|
id = "primary-github"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inside your Terraform code, you now have access to authentication variables. Reference the documentation for your chosen provider for more information on how to supply it with a token.
|
|
|
|
### Workspace CLI
|
|
|
|
Use [`external-auth`](../reference/cli/external-auth.md) in the Coder CLI to access a token within the workspace:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
coder external-auth <USER_DEFINED_ID> access-token
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## OAuth provider
|

|
|
### Configure a GitHub OAuth app
|
|
|
|
1. [Create a GitHub App](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/registering-a-github-app/registering-a-github-app)
|
|
|
|
- Set the callback URL to
|
|
`https://coder.example.com/external-auth/USER_DEFINED_ID/callback`.
|
|
- Deactivate Webhooks.
|
|
- Enable fine-grained access to specific repositories or a subset of
|
|
permissions for security.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Adjust the GitHub app permissions. You can use more or fewer permissions than
|
|
are listed here, this example allows users to clone
|
|
repositories:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
| Name | Permission | Description |
|
|
|---------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| Contents | Read & Write | Grants access to code and commit statuses. |
|
|
| Pull requests | Read & Write | Grants access to create and update pull requests. |
|
|
| Workflows | Read & Write | Grants access to update files in `.github/workflows/`. |
|
|
| Metadata | Read-only | Grants access to metadata written by GitHub Apps. |
|
|
| Members | Read-only | Grants access to organization members and teams. |
|
|
|
|
1. Install the App for your organization. You may select a subset of
|
|
repositories to grant access to.
|
|
|

|
|
**Note:** To support regex matching for paths like `github\.com/org`, add the following `git config` line to the [Coder agent startup script](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/coder/coder/latest/docs/resources/agent#startup_script):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git config --global credential.useHttpPath true
