Hi Everyone,

SonarQube server (Developer license). The Devops Platform Integration for GitHub fails to contact GitHub when in Project Settings → General Settings → DevOps Platform Integration. At the SonarQube Administration level configuration, the check configuration succeeds. The credentials have been repeatedly checked and are all correct.

SonarQube server log excerpt:  
“”  
2026.10.28 13:58:19 DEBUG web[4c6ebb1f-13c0-48d4-ad92-0b11b2f8ecc0][o.s.w.c.OkHttpClientBuilder] → GET [https://api.github.com/repos/](https://api.github.com/repos/)\<co. name\>/ACloud

2026.10.28 13:58:20 WARN web[4c6ebb1f-13c0-48d4-ad92-0b11b2f8ecc0][o.s.a.c.GenericApplicationHttpClient] GET response did not have expected HTTP code (was 401): {\r\n “message”: “Bad credentials”,\r\n “documentation\_url”: "[https://docs.github.com/rest",\r\n](https://docs.github.com/rest%22,%5Cr%5Cn "https://docs.github.com/rest%22,/r/n") “status”: “401”\r\n}  
“”

- SonarQube Server V2026.5.3

- The GitHub code repositories are all of type “private”.

- Repositories added in the past are still working for PR decoration - indicating again that the credentials are correct. But removing an already added repository and then trying to readd it fails.

- Successful global configuration validation in “Administration”.

- In project configuration of “DevOps Platform Integration”, it fails when “Save” is clicked with:  
GitHub response: GET /repos/\<co. name\>/ACloud but response (401 Bad credentials)  
All credentials confirmed correct. When invalid credentials input, it fails global configuration validation in “Administration”.

Must-share information (formatted with [Markdown](https://commonmark.org/help/)):

- which versions are you using ( **Version** v2026.5.3 (133540)
- how is SonarQube deployed: As a container under AWS Fargate

Thanks

Hey @PabPsion, it sound very similar to [this other issue](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/github-devops-project-binding-fails-with-no-personal-access-token-found-after-upgrade-to-sonarqube/189810). Could you try the workaround I described there and let me know if that solves it?
