#Disable expiration dates for access tokens

If GitLab is running v17.0 or greater, we need to disable expiration dates for access tokens.

To disable expiration dates for new access tokens:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > General.
3. Expand Account and limit.
4. Uncheck the Personal / Project / Group access token expiration checkbox.
5. Select Save changes.

#Generate new token

To generate impersonation token for admin:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Overview > Users.
3. Select the admin user (Administrator for example).
4. On the top navigation bar, select Impersonation Tokens.
5. Select Add new token.
6. In the popup form:
   1. Input a Token name for Alauda AI (aml-root, for example).
   2. Remove Expiration Date (select "x" icon to remove expiration date).
   3. Check ALL scopes (especially api scope) for Select scopes.
7. Select Create impersonation token.
8. Save the newly generated token under Your new impersonation token, we need to use it later.

#Create kubernetes secret for admin token

Then we create secret for gitlab admin token named aml-gitlab-admin-token under cpaas-system namespace:

# Please replace ${TOKEN} with real token saved previously
kubectl create secret generic aml-gitlab-admin-token \
  --from-literal="password=${TOKEN}" \
  -n cpaas-system
