# Server base URL

You must configure your SonarQube Server base URL in SonarQube Server, otherwise, integration and authentication features will not work correctly.

{% hint style="info" %}
The SonarQube Server integration with a DevOps platform will only work if the SonarQube Server base URL is a public URL.
{% endhint %}

To configure the server base URL in SonarQube Server:

1. Go to **Administration > Configuration > General Settings > General > General.**
2. In **Server base URL**, set your SonarQube Server instance’s URL.
