You should be able to generate personal user tokens via the built in mechanism in the extension or via the profile settings in SQ web ui. Analysis tokens will not work with the extension.
Hi. Any update on this?
Hi. We have managed to create connection with user generated token and bind solution to project:
Output-SonarQube-DPAPIMasterPassword-UserGeneratedToken.txt (162.4 KB)
Output-SonarQube-DPAPIMasterPassword-UserGeneratedToken-AfterBound.txt (96.8 KB)
Does the DPApi without password variant work? We would obviously prefer to ship that, as it is less intrusive
Yes, it works with DPAPI without password too. Thank you!
I will work on bringing this to the release 9.4 coming in January, pending internal security review.
Thank you for your help @nandjelkovic @rybowdenAccess
