Google Secure LDAP (FREE SELF)

Introduced in GitLab 11.9.

Google Cloud Identity provides a Secure LDAP service that can be configured with GitLab for authentication and group sync.

Secure LDAP requires a slightly different configuration than standard LDAP servers. The steps below cover:

  • Configuring the Secure LDAP Client in the Google administrator console.
  • Required GitLab configuration.

Secure LDAP is only available on specific Google Workspace editions. For more information, see the Google Secure LDAP service documentation.

Configuring Google LDAP client

  1. Go to https://admin.google.com/Dashboard and sign in as a Google Workspace domain administrator.

  2. Go to Apps > LDAP > Add Client.

  3. Provide an LDAP client name and an optional Description. Any descriptive values are acceptable. For example, the name could be GitLab and the description could be GitLab LDAP Client. Select Continue.

    Add LDAP Client Step 1

  4. Set Access Permission according to your needs. You must choose either Entire domain (GitLab) or Selected organizational units for both Verify user credentials and Read user information. Select Add LDAP Client.

    NOTE: If you plan to use GitLab LDAP Group Sync , turn on Read group information.

    Add LDAP Client Step 2

  5. Download the generated certificate. This is required for GitLab to communicate with the Google Secure LDAP service. Save the downloaded certificates for later use. After downloading, select Continue to Client Details.

  6. Expand the Service Status section and turn the LDAP client ON for everyone. After selecting Save, select the Service Status bar again to collapse and return to the rest of the settings.

  7. Expand the Authentication section and choose Generate New Credentials. Copy/note these credentials for later use. After selecting Close, select the Authentication bar again to collapse and return to the rest of the settings.

Now the Google Secure LDAP Client configuration is finished. The screenshot below shows an example of the final settings. Continue on to configure GitLab.

LDAP Client Settings

Configuring GitLab

Edit GitLab configuration, inserting the access credentials and certificate obtained earlier.

The following are the configuration keys that need to be modified using the values obtained during the LDAP client configuration earlier:

  • bind_dn: The access credentials username
  • password: The access credentials password
  • cert: The .crt file text from the downloaded certificate bundle
  • key: The .key file text from the downloaded certificate bundle

For Linux package installations:

  1. Edit /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:

    gitlab_rails['ldap_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['ldap_servers'] = YAML.load <<-EOS # remember to close this block with 'EOS' below
  main: # 'main' is the GitLab 'provider ID' of this LDAP server
    label: 'Google Secure LDAP'

    host: 'ldap.google.com'
    port: 636
    uid: 'uid'
    bind_dn: 'DizzyHorse'
    password: 'd6V5H8nhMUW9AuDP25abXeLd'
    encryption: 'simple_tls'
    verify_certificates: true
    retry_empty_result_with_codes: [80]

Using encrypted credentials

You can optionally store the bind_dn and password in a separate encrypted configuration file using the same steps as the regular LDAP integration.
