Apparently, Gitlab has increased Personal Access Tokens from 20 characters to 57 characters. When connecting to Gitab from BAMOE Canvas 9.2.1, the Personal Access Token field only accepts 40 characters and therefore authentication fails. Will this be addressed in the next release or is there a workaround for the current version?

Alex,

Which Personal Access Token is being used? I don't see anything in the GitLab docs saying the token size has been increased to 57 characters. https://docs.gitlab.com/user/profile/personal_access_tokens/ states that programmatically created tokens need to be 20 characters.

@Jason Porter I saw the same article referencing the 20 characters. However, apparently that is no longer the case. I created myself a personal account on Gitlab to test it to ensure it wasn't a custom company setting to generate 57 characters. But the Personal Access Tokens generated on my personal account are also 57 characters.

@Alex Munford, thank you for the info. I've let the development team know. I'll keep this thread updated as more information is available.
