Cannot complete first Gerrit login – account not attaching to CentralAuth
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Wikimedia username: MuskanNishad

I am logged into Meta-Wiki successfully, but Gerrit does not complete
the initial SSO login.

Clicking “Sign in” on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org always shows the
legacy username/password popup and never attaches my account.

Because of this, I cannot:

  • access Gerrit settings
  • upload SSH keys
  • authenticate via SSH (permission denied: publickey)

Please attach my Gerrit account to my CentralAuth account.

Thank you.

Hi @MuskanNishad :) Gerrit uses Wikimedia developer accounts to sign in with, rather than a CentralAuth account. If you don't have a developer account yet, you should be able to create one from the link on that page.
If you already have a developer account and you're unable to login to Gerrit with it, please could you confirm the username of your developer account? (I'm not someone that'd be able to investigate an issue like that, but I assume that it might be useful to know for someone who is.)

Please attach my Gerrit account to my CentralAuth account.

Please feel free to do so yourself on https://idp.wikimedia.org/ - thanks a lot!

Hi, thanks for the clarification.
I’m unable to log into idp.wikimedia.org at all — authentication fails with 403 / invalid credentials, so I don’t have access to my developer profile and don’t know the developer account username.
If there’s another way to identify or recover it, please let me know.

Have you created your developer account on idp yet? (It's unrelated to your login to Wikimedia wikis such as Wikipedia, Wikispecies, MediaWiki wiki etc)

Thanks for checking.

Yes — my developer account is now set up and linked. I’m able to access Gerrit and have successfully pushed a change using the account muskan40432.
