Guest User Login Plugin for GoCD

GoCD Guest User Login Plugin allows the user to login as a guest to GoCD server.

Requirements

• GoCD server version v17.5.0 or above

Installation

Copy the file build/libs/gocd-guest-login-plugin-VERSION.jar to the GoCD server under ${GO_SERVER_DIR}/plugins/external and restart the server. The GO_SERVER_DIR is usually /var/lib/go-server on Linux and C:\Program Files\Go Server on Windows.

Configuration

Create Authorization Configuration

1. Login to GoCD Server as admin and navigate to Admin > Security > Authorization Configuration

2. Click on Add to create new authorization configuration:

   1. Specify id for auth config
   2. Select Guest Login Plugin for Plugin Id
   3. Specify Go Server Url. Eg. https://<GO_SERVER_URL>/go
   4. Specify Username of the guest user.
   5. Specify Display name of the guest user.

   

Troubleshooting

Enable Debug Logs

If you are on GoCD version 19.6 and above:

Edit the file wrapper-properties.conf on your GoCD server and add the following options. The location of the wrapper-properties.conf can be found in the installation documentation of the GoCD server.

# We recommend that you begin with the index `100` and increment the index for each system property
wrapper.java.additional.100=-Dplugin.cd.go.contrib.authorization.guest.log.level=debug

If you're running with GoCD server 19.6 and above on docker using one of the supported GoCD server images, set the environment variable GOCD_SERVER_JVM_OPTIONS:

docker run -e "GOCD_SERVER_JVM_OPTIONS=-Dplugin.cd.go.contrib.authorization.guest.log.level=debug" ...

If you are on GoCD version 19.5 and lower:

• On Linux:

  Enabling debug level logging can help you troubleshoot an issue with this plugin. To enable debug level logs, edit the file /etc/default/go-server (for Linux) to add:

  export GO_SERVER_SYSTEM_PROPERTIES="$GO_SERVER_SYSTEM_PROPERTIES -Dplugin.cd.go.contrib.authorization.guest.log.level=debug"

  If you're running the server via ./server.sh script:

  $ GO_SERVER_SYSTEM_PROPERTIES="-Dplugin.cd.go.contrib.authorization.guest.log.level=debug" ./server.sh

• On windows:

  Edit the file config/wrapper-properties.conf inside the GoCD Server installation directory (typically C:\Program Files\Go Server):

  # config/wrapper-properties.conf
  # since the last "wrapper.java.additional" index is 15, we use the next available index.
  wrapper.java.additional.16=-Dplugin.cd.go.contrib.authorization.guest.log.level=debug
  

Building the code base

To build the jar, run ./gradlew clean test assemble
