Gitlab oauth support

[thenewguy]

It would be handy if gitlab oauth was supported on custom domains

See http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/integration/oauth_provider.html

Indeed. Feel free to reopen or submit a pull request once you have got something working...

This is something that certainly interests me as well!

@pennersr could this issue please be reopened. As noted on readthedocs/readthedocs.org#1441 there is need for this functionality.

[takotuesday]

It looks like gitlab and github's web application flow is pretty similar, so a lot of the github provider could potentially be re-usable.

[takotuesday]

@pennersr it seems to me that a hurdle in adding gitlab is it is designed to be used in for in house hosting and under a custom domain, unlike github who has a fixed domain. There are a couple ways to work around this:

• set the domain in the database
• set the domain in the settings file

Which would you reccomend? Is there an approach that I am missing?

[pennersr]

There is currently no proper place for this to be stored in the database. A settings sounds more in line to what we have now:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = { 'gitlab': { 'DOMAIN': ... and so on }}
