Describe the Scenario
I tried using GitLab as our Authentication Method but it seems like it doesnt work
When I try to log in with our own hosted GitLab server it gives me this error in GitLab:

Nothing is logged in laravel.log
GitLab v14.0.11-ee
Exact BookStack Version
v21.11
Log Content
An error has occurred
Client authentication failed due to unknown client, no client authentication included, or unsupported authentication method.
PHP Version
PHP 7.4.3
Hosting Environment
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, installed using the Automatic Installation Script
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2021):
Hi @Ecentrix,
Just to confirm, to set up BookStack within GitLab did you exactly follow our setup steps for GitLab authentication in your instance (https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/third-party-auth/#gitlab).
Did anything differ to the instructions during setup?
@Ecentrix commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2021):
Hey @ssddanbrown,
Yes i followed the setup and did everything as it said.
No, i did everything as said in the setup.
i wondered if it is our gitlab but i think it isnt because we still had an older application in gitlab where you could log in thru gitlab.
@Ecentrix commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2021):
The reason I tried Gitlab is because we wanted to have LDAP and normal email auth. and we configured that in our Gitlab.
And bookstack doenst support this, or am i wrong?
Another way we could make it work is if Bookstack supports 2 ldap servers, but this is also not supported or am I also wrong?
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2021):
Yeah, BookStack does not support both email and LDAP login. Nor does it support two different LDAP systems.
Just spent some time testing this on GitLab v14.0.11-ee and BookStack v21.11.
All seemed to work absolutely fine.
GITLAB_BASE_URIoption in your.envfile?read_userscope?@Ecentrix commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2021):
I got it to work now, my problem was that I had the brackets around the IDs.
I didnt read this -> # Replace the below (including '{}' braces)
Thanks anyway
