Authentication¶

Most VIPR packages are publicly available and do not require authentication:

Package	Availability
`vipr-core`	Public (GitHub / PyPI)
`vipr-framework`	Public (GitHub)
`vipr-frontend`	Public (GitHub)
`vipr-reflectometry-plugin`	Public (GitHub)
`vipr-helm-chart`	Public (GitHub)
`vipr-gid-plugin`	Private — HZDR GitLab only

vipr-gid-plugin (private)¶

The vipr-gid-plugin is hosted on codebase.helmholtz.cloud and is not publicly accessible. Access requires a Personal Access Token from the HZDR GitLab instance.

Create a Personal Access Token¶

Visit User Settings → Personal Access Tokens
Create a new token with at minimum the read_repository scope
Copy and store the token value immediately — it will not be shown again

Install with pip¶

pip install git+https://@your.username:glpat-xxxx@codebase.helmholtz.cloud/vipr/vipr-gid-plugin.git

Or when prompted interactively:

pip install git+https://codebase.helmholtz.cloud/vipr/vipr-gid-plugin.git
Username: @your.username
Password: glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Security note: Treat the token like a password. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.
