SSO and WebHook Integration Guide for GitLab and Jenkins
This guide explains how to configure Single Sign‑On (SSO) and WebHook integrations between GitLab and Jenkins, covering application setup, redirect URL configuration, Jenkins backup and proxy adjustments, installing the GitLab hook plugin, generating tokens, and testing connections to ensure successful CI/CD triggering.
1. SSO Integration
1.1 GitLab Configuration
Application Management → Create Application → Configure redirect URL.
1.2 Jenkins Configuration
Back up the config.xml file before making changes.
If Jenkins is behind a proxy, modify the upstream name because it will be automatically filled into the redirect URL.
2. WebHook Integration
2.1 Jenkins Configuration
Install the GitLab hook plugin.
Select a project, choose the build trigger module to trigger via GitLab, and generate a token.
2.2 GitLab Configuration
Navigate to Project → Project Settings → Integrations.
Save and test the connection.
After a successful response, verify that the Jenkins job is building.
