Okta Integration with Visual Studio 2019/2022 for GitLab repository access.
I want to access the GitLab repository in Visual Studio 2022. Generally, In Visual Studio 2022 for GitLab repository access asked authenticates using username and password/access token. But I want to use GitLab authentication using Okta instead of GitLab username and password or access token.In Visual Studio 2022, there is any way to integrate with Okta for GitLab access in visual Studio 2022?
Hi @cjf8v (cjf8v) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
The current GitLab integration does not support SSO functionality, just a limited set of Provisioning functions.

Does this mean Okta Integration with Visual Studio to access GitLab is not possible at the moment?
Not as far as I can see. If Visual Studio has SAML or OIDC authentication capabilities, you could try a custom template app integration using the App Integration Wizard.
