Hi Team,
I'm looking for a way to import gerrit ACL's to Zoket, Please let me know the steps to do it or any documentation that I can refer to mirror gerrit ACL's into Zoket.
Looking for a way to block the users at the repository level and at the branch level as well in Zoket.

"So, here is what you have to do

  1. build a plugin in Gerrit that acts as a HTTP proxy. The plugin should enforce users to be logged in, and forward requests to a Zoekt instance, but also set a

X-Gerrit-AccountId: 1234

header.

  1. Update the web server to extract the gerrit account ID from the HTTP request, and set it in the HTTP Context.

  2. write a wrapper around zoekt.Searcher

zoekt/api.go

Line 263 in b1730d8

type Searcher interface {

that extracts the Gerrit user from the context. Then it should call back to the Gerrit instance, executing /check.access to verify if the user has access. If not, returon no results.

Then, when deploying, you create a firewall, so only the gerrit server can contact the zoekt server.

Overall, this is not an easy task. Good luck!"
