Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to check user credentials specifically for Conan packages via the endpoint `/api/v4/packages/conan/v1/users/check_credentials`. It is useful for validating authentication status or permissions of users in the context of Conan package management within GitLab. Typical use cases include automated workflows that need to verify user access before performing package operations.

Use Case Examples

  1. A CI/CD pipeline step that verifies if the current user has valid credentials to access Conan packages in a GitLab repository.
  2. An automation that checks user authentication status before allowing package uploads or downloads.

Troubleshooting

  • If authentication fails, ensure the GitLab API key is valid and has the necessary permissions to access the Conan packages API.
  • Verify the baseUrl is correct and accessible from the environment where the node runs.
  • Check that the HTTP method is appropriate for the operation, typically GET for this credentials check endpoint.
