VigicapConnector
GitLab
API credential, entered client by client.
Self-hosted software forge. Vigicap reads the number of accounts, those with a second factor and the instance-wide two-factor requirement, to assess the ReCyF objective on multi-factor authentication. The API reports that a factor is enrolled, never whether it is a WebAuthn key or a TOTP code.
01
What to create in the tool
The access is created in GitLab, not in Vigicap. Vigicap never asks for an administrator's password: it expects an API credential that you create, that you can see, and that you can revoke without us.
Where to generate it
GitLab → Préférences → Jetons d'accès personnels → portée « read_api », avec un compte administrateur. L'instance doit présenter un certificat TLS reconnu : un certificat auto-signé est refusé.
Minimum role
Jeton d'accès personnel de portée « read_api », appartenant à un compte administrateur de l'instance.
Taken from the vendor's own role model, and checked before publication.
02
What to enter in Vigicap
The exact fields of the connection form, in the order they appear. Values marked “secret” never travel back to the browser: they are encrypted at rest and deleted on disconnection.
The form starts with the instance address, entered separately from the fields below. The public catalogue does not yet publish whether this connector needs one, or what it looks like — so this list is exact about everything else, and silent about that first field.

03
Per-client routing
The connection is made client by client: one credential per client, entered on that client's record. Nothing is shared between two clients, and disconnecting one leaves the other untouched.
04
What it does, and what it does not do
ReCyF objectives it pre-fills
A reading feeds one objective of the ANSSI ReCyF framework. It PROPOSES it: the level only counts once a consultant has confirmed it.

Read-only
The reads are read-only: Vigicap writes nothing into the tool while reading it.
What is read, what is kept, for how long and with which rights: the same register, connector by connector, in the data inventory.
Verification
This connector has been run end to end against a real instance of the tool, not merely tested against a mock.
