Issue
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask on but:
I had Gitlab access tokens working for some automated bash scripts that run daily via cron.
Then we turned on Okta and now my automated scripts do not work. Specifically, I have to run them manually, authenticate manually via the link it spits out, and then my script is authenticated for the day and will run properly.
I do not have control over Okta so I'm not sure of the options and cannot find much information online. What are my options here? Is there a way to extend the session lifetime? Is it possible to create an account that can authenticate in some other manner? Do I need to switch to built in Gitlab devops tools? How have others solved this problem?
Thank you
Solution
The solution is to use a Project Access Token instead of a personal access token.
