FollowSetup a web Interface for Git ( GitWeb With Ldap Authentication )
Pre Requests :-
1) Git and Gitolite should be installed ( Refer here )
2) Git web is installed using yum
3) You should have the root privileges and webserver should be Apache .If you are fine with the above requirements then lets proceed !!
==> Add user ‘apache’ and ‘gitolite’ into the group ‘gitolite’
# usermod -a -G gitolite apache
# usermod -a -G gitolite gitolite
# id apache
uid=48(apache) gid=48(apache) groups=48(apache),157(gitolite)
# id gitolite
uid=103(gitolite) gid=157(gitolite) groups=157(gitolite)
==> Change $REPO_UMASK config in ‘.gitolite.rc’ file to 0027 around line 30
# cd /srv/git/
# cat .gitolite.rc | grep REPO_UMASK
$REPO_UMASK = 0027;
==> Edit /etc/gitweb.conf and set the value for $projectroot and $projects_list
$projectroot = “/srv/git/repositories”;
$projects_list = “/srv/git/projects.list”;
@git_base_url_list = qw(ssh://[email protected]); # replace gitserver with your gitserver ip
Apache Virutal Host section ( Ldap authentication )
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName adminlogs.info ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /usr/share/gitweb <Directory /usr/share/gitweb> Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi AddHandler cgi-script cgi RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT] </Directory> <Location "/"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Git Authentication" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldapserver.com:389/dc=domain,dc=com?uid Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost>
==> Also we need to provide read access to gitweb user to all the repo’s using gitolite.conf as follows
# cat gitolite.conf
@developers = root hari william
@qa = jack lilly
repo gitolite-admin
RW+ = @developers
repo new-project
R = @qa gitweb daemon
repo testing
RW+ = @all
R = gitweb daemon
==> Restart Apache
Now just access the ip/hostname of the git server in browser , you can browse the repo’s using the ldap credentials.
