Changeover Within the GitLab Login Process
Source: GitLab
On May 3, 2023, the login process for our GitLab instances (git.rwth-aachen.de and git-ce.rwth-aachen.de) will be updated as part of a necessary maintenance.
However, in order to be able to log in to the GitLab instances of the RWTH after the maintenance, the primary e-mail address stored in GitLab must match the contact e-mail address in the Identity Management of the RWTH. Otherwise, if the e-mail addresses are different, you may get a login error after the system changeover.
