Hi all,
I have recently started using Jenkins and I’m getting all my integrations set up. Naturally, I’m facing a few instances where I’m searching docs for answers on how to set things up.
I’m having a similar problem with this closed issue on GitHub.
Web hook fails when Jenkins Anonymous user does not have job/build permission
Currently, I don’t have a username or password specified in the Jenkins integration in GitLab because I couldn’t get it to successfully test the connection when doing so. So, it makes sense that the webhook is being triggered by the “anonymous” user and correctly failing.
I think the reason I could not get the username and password part with the Jenkins integration in GitLab working is related to the fact I have my Jenkins instance authentication setup to use the OAuth of my GitLab instance to protect Jenkins with two-factor authentication, since I am exposing it publicly. The OAuth integration is working perfectly as expected in Jenkins. But when I try to use my GitLab username and password in the webhook integration it fails the test connection.
The issue on GitHub above mentions creating a special “jenkins” user to make the call from GitLab but as I am using GitLab OAuth I can’t seem to find a way to create a basic local user in Jenkins.
I don’t want the webhooks to be unprotected.
Does anyone know of a solution to this scenario?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
FS
