Overview

To authenticate with Gerrit, you will need:

1. Gerrit Host - The location to where you Gerrit instance is currently hosted.
2. User Name - The User Name associated with your Gerrit account, used to authenticate API requests.
3. Password - The password linked to your Gerrit account, required for secure authentication.

This guide will walk you through finding your Gerrit Host and credentials.

​

Prerequisites:

• Ensure you have valid credentials (username and password) to access the Gerrit API.

​

Instructions:

​

Step 1: Finding Your Host

• Your Host is the URL where your Gerrit instance is running. For example: https://your-gerrit-domain
• If you’re hosting Gerrit locally, the host URL might look like: http://localhost:8080
• Ensure the Gerrit server is accessible from the network where you’re setting up the connection.

​

Step 2: Obtain Your Credentials

• Use your username and password to authenticate. These are the credentials you use to log in to your Gerrit account.

Step 3: Enter host and credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your Host, User name, and Password:

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Gerrit.
2. Enter the Host, User Name and Password in their respective fields.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to Gerrit.
