To use sonarqube implementation, I prefer [sonarcloud.io](http://sonarcloud.io). But i’m getting ERROR: Not authorized. Please check the properties sonar.login and [sonar.password.My](http://sonar.password.My) sonarQube parameters like that.

sonar.sources=.  
sonar.organization=cenk\_tuzun-bitbucket  
sonar.login=\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
sonar.projectKey=$BITRISE\_APP\_TITLE  
sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io/  
sonar.report.export.path=sonar-report.json  
sonar.java.binaries=target/classes  
sonar.sources=app/src/main/java  
sonar.tests=app/src/test/java  
sonar.java.coveragePlugin=jacoco

sonar.login comes from security tab in sonarcloud (via generate token)  
sonar.organization comes from organizations tab in sonarcloud (defined as a key)

I tried with sonar.password with empty value but still ı’m getting this error.

I guess sonar.poassword field mandatory even it’s empty. When I added this line it works.

According to scanner documentation: [https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner#AnalyzingwithSonarQubeScanner-Use](https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SCAN/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner#AnalyzingwithSonarQubeScanner-Use) only login property is mandatory (so password can be omitted).

However, in properties documentation: [https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analysis+Parameters#AnalysisParameters-OptionalParameters](https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analysis+Parameters#AnalysisParameters-OptionalParameters) password should be blank if token is used.

In practice self-hosted Sonarqube server does not require password field if token is used.

I’ve asked about that on sonar Google group: [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sonarqube/BJtectGsXzY](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sonarqube/BJtectGsXzY)
