To allow your users to authenticate to Private Packagist Self-Hosted with their Bitbucket Data Center / Server account, you'll first need to create an integration in Private Packagist. This document walks you through the required steps.

Open the Add Integration form

Go to the Admin section and hit the “Add Integration“ button to open the form to create your integration. If you've just installed Private Packagist Self-Hosted and it is still running in Setup Mode, you do not need to log in. If the application is no longer in Setup mode, you will have to log in with an admin account first.

To setup a Bitbucket Data Center / Server integration with Private Packagist, start by selecting "Bitbucket Data Center / Server" as the platform, enter the URL of your on-premise Bitbucket Data Center / Server into the base URL field and select OAuth 2 as the OAuth version as seen in the example below. A link to set up the OAuth application on your Bitbucket instance will automatically be displayed.

Create Application link

Do not submit the integration form yet, but copy the content from the "Callback URL / Redirect URL" and follow the setup link to your Bitbucket Data Center / Server instance. The fields Client ID and Client Secret remain empty for now.

In Bitbucket, click on the "Create link" button and select "External application" as type and "Incoming" as direction.

After you click the button to continue, enter a name and the content from the "Callback URL / Redirect URL" from the Private Packagist form. Select Repositories "Read" as application permission and save the form.

Once the form is saved, Bitbucket Data Center / Server will show you the Client ID and secret.

Finish the Setup

Copy and paste the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" values back into the Private Packagist integration form and submit the form with the "Create Integration" button.

The Bitbucket integration will be created and you will be redirected to the admin page.

The new integration will be shown in the list of available integrations, and your users can now log in to your Private Packagist Self-Hosted installation using their Bitbucket Data Center / Server account.

Configure Bitbucket Server plugins

In case the U2F & TOTP plugin by Alpha Server is installed on the Bitbucket Data Center / Server then you will need to enable the OAuth whitelist otherwise Private Packagist won't be able to authenticate with the Bitbucket Data Center / Server.
