Webhooks - Configure webhooks

Security & Authentication

Secure integration methods:

Authentication Options

  1. Username/Password - Basic authentication

  2. API Keys - Token-based access

  3. Environment Variables - Secure credential storage

  4. Secret Management - Platform-specific vaults

Best Practices

  • Use API keys for automation

  • Rotate credentials regularly

  • Limit permissions to minimum required

  • Audit access logs regularly

Common Integration Patterns

Continuous Deployment

  1. Code pushed to repository

  2. CI/CD triggered automatically

  3. Tests run

  4. Artifacts built and published to CloudRepo

  5. Deployment triggered from CloudRepo

Dependency Management

  1. Configure CloudRepo as primary repository

  2. Set up proxy repositories for external dependencies

  3. Cache dependencies locally

  4. Reduce build times and external bandwidth

Release Management

  1. Development builds to snapshot repository

  2. Automated testing and validation

  3. Promotion to release repository

  4. Distribution to production systems

Multi-Environment Setup

  1. Separate repositories per environment

  2. Progressive artifact promotion

  3. Environment-specific configurations

  4. Controlled access per environment

Troubleshooting Integrations

Common Issues

Authentication Failures

  • Verify credentials are correct

  • Check API key permissions

  • Ensure repository access rights

Network Connectivity

  • Confirm firewall rules

  • Check proxy settings

  • Verify CloudRepo endpoints

Certificate Issues

  • Update CA certificates

  • Configure trust store

  • Use proper HTTPS configuration

Rate Limiting

  • Implement retry logic

  • Use connection pooling

  • Consider caching strategies
