SonarQube: Using Tokens for Analysis and Web API Authentication
Introduction
SonarQube is a popular open-source platform for code quality analysis. Users can generate tokens that can be used to run analyses or invoke web services. This article explains how to generate and use tokens for authentication in SonarQube.
Generating Tokens
To generate a token, you must have the "Administer System" permission in SonarQube. Go to the "Administration" page and select "Security". Under the "Tokens" tab, click the "Generate" button. Enter a name for the token and select the desired permissions. Click the "Generate" button to create the token.
Using Tokens for Analysis
To use a token for analysis, you can pass it as a command-line argument to the SonarQube Scanner. For example, to run an analysis with a token named "my-token", you can use the following command: ``` sonar-scanner -Dsonar.login=my-token ```
Using Tokens for Web API Authentication
To use a token for web API authentication, you can pass it in the header of each request. The token is sent in the "Authorization" header using the following format: ``` Authorization: Basic
``` For example, to send a request to the "projects" endpoint, you can use the following curl command: ``` curl -H "Authorization: Basic my-token:" https://sonarqube.example.com/api/projects ``` Conclusion
Tokens provide a convenient way to authenticate to SonarQube for analysis and web API access. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can generate and use tokens to securely interact with SonarQube.
