Import projects from Bitbucket and login to your GitLab instance with your
Bitbucket account.
To enable the Bitbucket OmniAuth provider you must register your application with Bitbucket.
Bitbucket will generate an application ID and secret key for you to use.
## Overview
1. Sign in to Bitbucket.
You can set up Bitbucket as an OAuth provider so that you can use your
credentials to authenticate into GitLab or import your projects from Bitbucket.
1. Navigate to your individual user settings (Manage account) or a team's settings (Manage team), depending on how you want the application registered. It does not matter if the application is registered as an individual or a team - that is entirely up to you.
- To use Bitbucket as an OmniAuth provider, follow the [Bitbucket OmniAuth
provider](#bitbucket-omniauth-provider) section.
- To import projects from Bitbucket, follow both the
[Bitbucket OmniAuth provider](#bitbucket-omniauth-provider) and
Make sure to first follow the [Initial OmniAuth configuration][init-oauth]
before proceeding with setting up the Bitbucket integration.

1. Select your newly created OAuth consumer.

1. Select "Save".
1. Select your newly created OAuth consumer.
1. You should now see a Key and Secret in the list of OAuth customers.
Keep this page open as you continue configuration.
1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.
For omnibus package:
```sh
sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
```
For installations from source:
```sh
cd /home/git/gitlab
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
```
1. See [Initial OmniAuth Configuration](omniauth.md#initial-omniauth-configuration) for initial settings.
1. Add the provider configuration:
For omnibus package:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
{
"name" => "bitbucket",
"app_id" => "YOUR_KEY",
"app_secret" => "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
"url" => "https://bitbucket.org/"
}
]
gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
{
"name" => "bitbucket",
"app_id" => "YOUR_KEY",
"app_secret" => "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
"url" => "https://bitbucket.org/"
}
]
```
For installation from source:
```
- { name: 'bitbucket', app_id: 'YOUR_KEY',
```yaml
- { name: 'bitbucket',
app_id: 'YOUR_KEY',
app_secret: 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' }
```
1. Change 'YOUR_KEY' to the key from the Bitbucket application page from step 7.
1. Change 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' to the secret from the Bitbucket application page from step 7.
1. Save the configuration file.
1. If you're using the omnibus package, reconfigure GitLab (```gitlab-ctl reconfigure```).
1. Restart GitLab for the changes to take effect.
On the sign in page there should now be a Bitbucket icon below the regular sign in form.
Click the icon to begin the authentication process. Bitbucket will ask the user to sign in and authorize the GitLab application.
If everything goes well the user will be returned to GitLab and will be signed in.

## Bitbucket project import
To allow projects to be imported directly into GitLab, Bitbucket requires two extra setup steps compared to GitHub and GitLab.com.

Bitbucket doesn't allow OAuth applications to clone repositories over HTTPS, and instead requires GitLab to use SSH and identify itself using your GitLab server's SSH key.

### Step 1: Public key
To be able to access repositories on Bitbucket, GitLab will automatically
register your public key with Bitbucket as a deploy key for the repositories to
be imported. Your public key needs to be at `~/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` which
translates to `/var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` for Omnibus packages and to
`/home/git/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa.pub` for installations from source.

Your public key needs to be at `~/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa.pub`, which will expand to `/var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` for omnibus package and to `/home/git/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa.pub` for installations from source.

If you have that file in place, you're all set and should see the "Import projects from Bitbucket" option enabled. If you don't, do the following:
Below are the steps that will allow GitLab to be able to import your projects
from Bitbucket.
1. Create a new SSH key:
1. Make sure you [have enabled the Bitbucket OAuth support](#bitbucket-omniauth-provider).
1. Create a new SSH key with an **empty passphrase**:
```sh
sudo -u git -H ssh-keygen
```
When asked `Enter file in which to save the key` specify the correct path, eg. `/var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` or `/home/git/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa`.
Make sure to use an **empty passphrase**.
When asked to 'Enter file in which to save the key' enter:
`/var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` for Omnibus packages or
`/home/git/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` for installations from source. The name is
important so make sure to get it right.
1. Configure SSH client to use your new key:
> **Warning:**
This key must NOT be associated with ANY existing Bitbucket accounts. If it
is, the import will fail with an `Access denied! Please verify you can add
deploy keys to this repository.` error.
1. Next, you need to to configure the SSH client to use your new key. Open the
SSH configuration file of the `git` user:
Open the SSH configuration file of the git user.
For omnibus package:
```sh
sudo editor /var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/config
```
For installations from source:
# For Omnibus packages
sudo editor /var/opt/gitlab/.ssh/config
```sh
sudo editor /home/git/.ssh/config
# For installations from source
sudo editor /home/git/.ssh/config
```
Add a host configuration for `bitbucket.org`.
1. Add a host configuration for `bitbucket.org`:

### Step 2: Known hosts
To allow GitLab to connect to Bitbucket over SSH, you need to add 'bitbucket.org' to your GitLab server's known SSH hosts. Take the following steps to do so:
1. Manually connect to 'bitbucket.org' over SSH, while logged in as the `git` account that GitLab will use:
1. Save the file and exit.
1. Manually connect to `bitbucket.org` over SSH, while logged in as the `git`
user that GitLab will use:
```sh
sudo -u git -H ssh bitbucket.org
```
1. Verify the RSA key fingerprint you'll see in the response matches the one in the [Bitbucket documentation](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Use+the+SSH+protocol+with+Bitbucket#UsetheSSHprotocolwithBitbucket-KnownhostorBitbucket'spublickeyfingerprints)(the specific IP address doesn't matter):
That step is performed because GitLab needs to connect to Bitbucket over SSH,
in order to add `bitbucket.org` to your GitLab server's known SSH hosts.
1. Verify the RSA key fingerprint you'll see in the response matches the one
in the [Bitbucket documentation][bitbucket-docs] (the specific IP address
doesn't matter):
```sh
The authenticity of host 'bitbucket.org (207.223.240.182)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 97:8c:1b:f2:6f:14:6b:5c:3b:ec:aa:46:46:74:7c:40.
The authenticity of host 'bitbucket.org (104.192.143.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:zzXQOXSRBEiUtuE8AikJYKwbHaxvSc0ojez9YXaGp1A.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
```
1. If the fingerprint matches, type `yes` to continue connecting and have 'bitbucket.org' be added to your known hosts.
1. If the fingerprint matches, type `yes` to continue connecting and have
`bitbucket.org` be added to your known SSH hosts. After confirming you should
see a permission denied message. If you see an authentication successful
message you have done something wrong. The key you are using has already been
added to a Bitbucket account and will cause the import script to fail. Ensure
the key you are using CANNOT authenticate with Bitbucket.
1. Restart GitLab to allow it to find the new public key.
1. Your GitLab server is now able to connect to Bitbucket over SSH.
