Is it possible to access credentials from managed files?

[Jochen Fuerbacher]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to access the credentials of a user from managed files (e.g. parameters / variables).
The managed file (Managed script file) needs to curl a url with a username:token combination and I don't want to hardcode this combination in the script.

Thank you.

Hello Jochen,

Did you look at the https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Credentials+Binding+Plugin and at the https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Config+File+Provider+Plugin ?

The former should let you use environment variables, the latter should let you store the credentials in a file (cleaned up at the end of the build). I think that the former makes more sense for your use case.

Hello Cyrille,

thanks for your answer.
The problem is, that the user has to activate the credentials binding plugin, select the credentials and a variable name, and insert the variable name as argument in the managed script each time he creates a new job. This is a little bit cumbersome.
It would be great to have the functionality of Credentials Binding Plugin in Managed Files configuration, so that the user only has to chose the managed script, but not the credentials.
