Once you have installed our software on your on-premise machine and configured Privado App on your source code management tool(GitHub/GitLab), the next step is to create an account and start using Privado.
Creating an Account:
- This step should only be done by someone in your organization who has admin access to GitLab/GitHub and can authorize the integration between Privado and GitLab/GitHub. This could be someone from your IT, DevOps, or Engineering team.
- Open the URL as configured in the on-prem installation, it will look something like privado.acme.com. Click on SignUp and enter the details.
- We will send you a verification link to the email you used for signup in the previous step. Once you verify your email, you will be able to log in and connect source code tool.
Connecting GitLab
When you log in for the first time, we will prompt you to connect your source code management tool. Select GitLab by clicking on Authenticate button.
Another pop-up will open where you can log in to your GitLab account and authenticate Privado. Please note this step should be done by GitLab admins.
Once you authenticate via your credentials, GitLab will ask you to Authorize the Privado app. These permissions allow us to scan the code repositories.
Selecting Code Repositories:
Once you Authorize, we will take you back to Privado onboarding. It might take some time to fetch the repositories.
Once you see the repository list, you can select the ones you want to scan and click on Add Selected Repositories at the top. You can add or remove these repositories from our dashboard at any time.
Your setup is complete and you will be able to see the results of our scan soon. Head over to the repository section to see completed code scans.
If you want to add or remove repositories that can be scanned, click on the Add button on the Repositories page and make the changes.
