Set up a Bookstack connector

C1 provides identity governance for Bookstack. Integrate your Bookstack instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over user access.

C1 provides identity governance for Bookstack. Integrate your Bookstack instance with C1 for unified visibility and governance over who can access your knowledge base and the roles they hold.

Capabilities

Resource	Sync	Provision
Users
Roles

The connector syncs Bookstack users and roles, and the role membership graph that grants each user their roles.

Gather Bookstack credentials

The Bookstack user that owns the API token must hold both the Access System API and Manage Users and Permissions / Roles permissions. Without them, the connector cannot read users or roles and the sync fails.

Bookstack authenticates the REST API with a token pair: a public Token ID and a secret Token Secret. C1 takes these as a single value, joined with a colon.

1. In Bookstack, sign in as a user that holds the Access System API and Manage Users and Permissions / Roles permissions.

2. Open Edit Profile > API Tokens and click Create Token. Give it a name (and optionally an expiry date) and save.

3. Bookstack shows the Token ID and Token Secret together once, at creation time. Copy both halves. You will not be able to see the secret again.

4. Join the two halves with a single colon, in the order TokenID:TokenSecret — for example aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwX:YzAxMjM0NTY3ODlhYmNkZWZnaGlqa2w. This joined string is the value C1 needs.

Configure the Bookstack connector

Cloud-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors and click Add connector.

2. Search for Bookstack and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Bookstack connector.

4. Set the owner for this connector.

5. Click Next.

6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

7. Enter the Bookstack credentials:

   • BookStack Base URL: the origin of your Bookstack instance, with no trailing slash — for example https://bookstack.example.com.
   • BookStack API Token: the Token ID and Token Secret joined with a colon, as TokenID:TokenSecret.
8. Click Save.

9. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Done. Your Bookstack connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to run the Bookstack connector in your own environment.

1. Create a secret for the joined Bookstack API token (TokenID:TokenSecret).

2. Configure the connector environment variables:

   • BATON_BOOKSTACK_BASE_URL: the origin of your Bookstack instance, with no trailing slash (https://bookstack.example.com).
   • BATON_BOOKSTACK_API_TOKEN: the Token ID and Token Secret joined with a colon, as TokenID:TokenSecret.
3. Deploy the connector using your standard self-hosted connector process.

Done. Your Bookstack connector is now pulling access data into C1.
