GitHub Token

The Token method provides the most flexibility for connecting GitHub to OX Security. In this method, users generate an API token in GitHub, which serves as a security credential to allow OX Security access to specific repositories and actions.

To connect with Token:

1. Get a GitHub token.

2. In the OX platform, go to Connectors and select GitHub > TOKEN.

1. In the Configure your GitHub credentials dialog, set the following parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   GitHub Host URL	Add your GitHub organization account URL.
   Token	Paste the GitHub token you have created.
   Connection Name	The token name is automatically generated by OX app. You can change/edit the connection name at any time.
   OX Broker	Enable this option to connect GitHub through an OX Broker instead of a direct connection. When enabled, OX routes communication through the broker, allowing access to GitHub instances that are not directly reachable from the internet. After enabling the toggle, provide the broker connection details as described in the OX Broker documentation.

2. To select specific repositories for scanning by OX platform, select the gear icon next to DELETE.

1. Select the repos you want to protect.

1. Select SAVE.

2. (optional) Select branches you want to scan within the selected repos.

3. To connect more GitHub accounts to the same organization in the OX platform, select Add another Token +, set the required parameters and select CONNECT.
