# GitLab integrations **(FREE)**
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
GitLab can be integrated with external services for enhanced functionality.
## Issue trackers
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
You can use an [external issue tracker ](external-issue-tracker.md ) at the same time as the GitLab
issue tracker, or use only the external issue tracker.

## Authentication sources
GitLab can be configured to authenticate access requests with the following authentication sources:
- Enable the [Auth0 OmniAuth ](auth0.md ) provider.
- Enable sign in with [Bitbucket ](bitbucket.md ) accounts.

### SSL certificate errors
2016-01-14 18:37:52 +05:30
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
When trying to integrate GitLab with services using self-signed certificates,
SSL certificate errors can occur in different parts of the application. Sidekiq
is a common culprit.
2016-01-14 18:37:52 +05:30
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
There are two approaches you can take to solve this:
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
1. Add the root certificate to the trusted chain of the OS.
2021-02-22 17:27:13 +05:30
1. If using Omnibus, you can add the certificate to the GitLab trusted certificates.
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
**OS main trusted chain**
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
This [resource ](https://manuals.gfi.com/en/kerio/connect/content/server-configuration/ssl-certificates/adding-trusted-root-certificates-to-the-server-1605.html )
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
has all the information you need to add a certificate to the main trusted chain.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
This [answer ](https://superuser.com/questions/437330/how-do-you-add-a-certificate-authority-ca-to-ubuntu )
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
at Super User also has relevant information.
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
**Omnibus Trusted Chain**
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
[Install the self signed certificate or custom certificate authorities ](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/common_installation_problems/README.html#using-self-signed-certificate-or-custom-certificate-authorities )
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
in to Omnibus GitLab.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
It is enough to concatenate the certificate to the main trusted certificate
however it may be overwritten during upgrades:
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
```shell
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
cat jira.pem >> /opt/gitlab/embedded/ssl/certs/cacert.pem
```
After that restart GitLab with:
2019-12-26 22:10:19 +05:30
```shell
2016-06-02 11:05:42 +05:30
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
```
