HTTP 403 on git-credentials API

sfalquier — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 10:29:18 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to set git credentials for my service principal. I follow the process described here but I get a 403 error when making the POST request to ${DATABRICKS_HOST}/api/2.0/git-credentials with service principal token.

By the way, I also cannot access this API with my PAT (see below) and get the same 403 Invalid access token error.

Is there any restriction on git-credentials API ? How to make it work ?

Regards,

Sébastien

curl -X GET ${DATABRICKS_HOST}/api/2.0/git-credentials --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${DATABRICKS_TOKEN}'

Thanks for your help but my issue deals with git-credentials API authentication for a service principal. I do not have issue to connect and use git repositories from workspace webapp.

Hi @Sébastien FALQUIER it works for me, there are no restrictions. Maybe the PAT token you generated for the service principle got expired. Can you generate a new token and try to run GET/git-credentials API?

How are you creating PAT for service principle? If you use api/2.0/token-management/on-behalf-of/tokens make sure to set lifetime_seconds to a longer duration.
