Question

Build an Automated CI/CD Pipeline with GitLab

We could not confirm that you authenticated to your Dev Hub org using JWT-based auth flow with the 'DreamHouse_demo' Connected App.

I am doing the Build an Automated CI/CD Pipeline with GitLab Trailhead.

I have followed the steps in Integrate with GitLab diligently I feel and when I authorize my playground for JWT, I get the success message but when I try validate the challenge I get the below error

Step not yet complete in My Trailhead Playground 3

We could not confirm that you authenticated to your Dev Hub org using JWT-based auth flow with the 'DreamHouse_demo' Connected App.

I am baffled what i am doing wrong as this is a step by step guide basically i am following and successful it seems.

Answer 1

I had the same error when I tried to validate the Integrate with Gitlab unit. But no problem, Go ahead and complete the next unit (Package your App and Automate CI/CD). after adding the .gitlab-ci.yml file and filling it, replace this line:

openssl aes-256-cbc -d -md md5 -in assets/server.key.enc -out assets/server.key -k $SERVER_KEY_PASSWORD

With

openssl aes-256-cbc -d -md sha256 -in assets/server.key.enc -out assets/server.key -k $SERVER_KEY_PASSWORD

in fact, we should use sha256 instead of md5 otherwise there will be an error when decrypting. After that, do a commit and check if the authentication works successfully on the Gitlab Pipeline. if yes you must be able to validate the challenge.

Hope that's helpful
