Hi Uday Kumar

See

Example (works for us):

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.I have tried with both

wget --auth-no-challenge --http-user=user --http-password=apiToken
http://jenkins.yourcompany.com/job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

wget http://user:apiToken@.../job/your_job/build?token=TOKEN

  but i am getting "403 Forbidden error".What should i do.?

and one more question is can't we directly access the url from browser
by passing the credentials there itself.


Thanks,
Uday Kumar

Hi,

    I have enabled the security in Jenkins and so that i am able to
invoke the job/project by URL from browser as below

                 http://hostname:8080/job/project/build?token=myjob

   its working fine and i am able to run the job from browser.But now
i want to it in secure manner ,so i have enabled
matrix based security and added admin and some users (with limited
permissions).The question is how can invoke job now by URL from
browser.I have tried as below,

      http://hostname:8080/job/project/build?token=myjob&j_username=xxxxxxx&j_password=xxxxxx
                                                             and
      http://username:password@hostname:8080/job/project/build?token=myjob


but its not working.i know we can also do it by "wget ......", but i
want to do it directly from browser.So please tell the way....

thanks,
uday

Hi Arjan Verstoep,

I tried the wget as how you explained but I am getting service unavailable. Also I didnt observed any thing in jenkins.log file. I am able to access this "http://localhost:8080/job/OnsiteBuild/build?token=IntegrationOnsiteBuild" URL from browser.


 
samba@dt-corp-sfd-samba:~$ wget --proxy-user=myuser --proxy-password=mypassword  --auth-no-challenge --http-user=jenkinsuser --http-password=jenkinspasswrd http://localhost:8080/job/OnsiteBuild/build?token=IntegrationOnsiteBuild

FYI, I am running jenkins with war file as "jre1.6/bin/java -jar jenkins.war"
