KeySafe Configuration

In order to integrate with GitHub, you will first need to configure, and securely store the authentication credentials for the GitHub Account/s you want to use with the Hornbill App.

Configure your GitHub account authentication in KeySafe in order to use the GitHub options.

In the admin console > System > Security > KeySafe

• Select on + and select GitHub
• Give the GitHub KeySafe a Title (this is the name/identifier for the GitHub account as you will see it when using the Integration Call node in your business process or custom button)
• Optionally add a description
• Select Create Key to save

Once the Key is created, you will need to connect to GitHub and your account, in order to authorize the Hornbill App to perform the listed GitHub options.

• Select Connect

You will be redirected to GitHub in a pop-up window, where you will be required to log in to your GitHub account, and then you will be prompted to review the options you are authorising the Hornbill App to be allowed to perform with the chosen GitHub account, read and then select Allow

Managing GitHub Configurations

• Use KeySafe to create, store and enable GitHub account in KeySafe in order to revoke authentication rights for the Hornbill App to use the account. Note:
  • This will revoke the rights of any existing GitHub Integration Calls in your business processes or Custom Buttons, which are using the revoked GitHub Account, so you will need to edit these accordingly.
