Unable to succesfully create/update PEM Certificate Credentials

Using Jenkins
1

I am trying to create/update a PEM credential
However, no matter what i do, the following messages appear in Credential Store for that Credential, even tho the api-call itself always says succesfull:

  • “No certificates where provided”
  • “No Keys Provided”

But if i put in the values via the GUI it al works fine

Anybody got an idea what i am doing wrong ??

The api-call (from ansible):

        - name: Create Credential '{{ jenkins_Credential_Id }}'
          when: getCredential is failed
          ansible.builtin.uri:
            url: "{{ jenkinsUrl }}/credentials/store/system/domain/_/createCredentials"
            method: "POST"
            status_code: 200
            body: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.template', jenkins_Credential_Type + '.xml.j2') }}"
            force_basic_auth: true
            return_content: true
            url_username: "{{ jenkins_userid }}"
            url_password: "{{ jenkins_password }}"
            headers:
              Content-Type: "text/xml"
              Cookie: "{{ response_crumb.cookies_string }}"
              Jenkins-Crumb: "{{ response_crumb.json.crumb }}"

The xml body:

<com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.CertificateCredentialsImpl>
  <scope>{{ jenkins_Credential_Scope }}</scope>
  <id>{{ jenkins_Credential_Id }}</id>
  <description>{{ jenkins_Credential_Description }}</description>
  <keyStoreSource class="com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.CertificateCredentialsImpl$PEMEntryKeyStoreSource">
    <certChain>{{ jenkins_Credential_CertificateChain | escape }}</certChain>
    <privateKey>{{ jenkins_Credential_PrivateKey | escape }}</privateKey>
  </keyStoreSource>
  <password>{{ jenkins_Credential_Password | escape }}</password>
</com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.CertificateCredentialsImpl>

The variables:

No worries, the certificate and keys are just dummies used for testing, so no secrets :wink:
