You will need to remove the Identity script (netlify-identity-widget.js) from your site -- it conflicts with implicit authentication and is unnecessary.

If you think there is a good place to note that in the docs, please open a PR!

We could mention under GitLab backend docs - there should be a section for each extension once https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/issues/1692 is in play (very early on atm).

Hello! This might be a very beginner question, and I already apologize for that but: I'm not sure how to remove the identity script from my site?
I'm using gatsby, with the gatsby netify plugin, so most of the site is being generated, and scrumbled into a single big js file.

[ayedo]

Nevermind, I figured it out. The way to do it is to configure the gatsby-netlify-plugin in the gatsby-config.js, like so:

    options: {
      enableIdentityWidget: false,
    }

I had exactly the same issue by using Gatsby, Netlify-CMS and Auth0 and the solution worked.

{
resolve: gatsby-plugin-netlify-cms,
options: {
enableIdentityWidget: false,
}
}

It's working perfect now. thanks.

could someone add this to the gitlab documentation is a waste of time people trying to figure it out on there own
