eclipseche-dex login doesnot redirect to gitlab sso (installed via minikube)

[Divine1]

Summary

My chectl version chectl/0.0.20220422-next.08c2079 linux-x64 node-v16.13.2
Operating system Ubuntu 18.04

i installed minikube with this configuration minikube start --driver=docker --memory=15000 --cpus=4 --ports="30670,30700,30710,30720,80:80,443:443,31728:31728"

i installed eclipse-che using chectl server:deploy --platform minikube --installer=operator --debug

The installation was successful and i'm able to login using user1@che / password

i have to integrate my organization's gitlab sso with dex, so that i can login using my organization's sso feature (https://gitlab.mycompany.com). Also i have my devfile.yaml in a repository which is present within gitlab organization account (https://gitlab.mycompany.com). this repository should be clonable by eclipse-che workspace.

i applied the secret file kubectl apply -f gitlab-secret.yaml -n eclipse-che (referred from here)

The i edited dex configmap in dex namespace kubectl edit configmap dex -n dex (referred from here)

i successfully applied both the above mentioned changes.

But when i trigger https://192.168.49.2.nip.io weblink, it shows the dex static login page instead of redirecting to gitlab sso login screen

did i miss any other configuration?
in this page , i noticed below value related to OIDC . Should i do any changes here?

Please let me know how to fix this problem, my expectation is, when i trigger https://192.168.49.2.nip.io the page should be redirected to gitlab sso page.

Please help

i was thinking for a while about this problem and tried below approach. Using this approach i was able to fix my problem.

Inorder for the configuration changes to take effect, we have to delete the dex pod kubectl delete pod dex-c6d746d9c-fmh5c -n dex that is currently running. The configuration changes will not reflect into the dex pod automatically. When the dex pod is deleted, the dex deployment component will automatically create a new pod and configure itself with newly updated configuration.
