Jenkins / JENKINS-58857 add safer github auth trough GitHub Plugin or through Credentials Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Jack Newcombe Attachments: Selectie_081.png Components: github-coverage-reporter-plugin Created: 2019-08-08 09:20 Environment: Jenkins ver. 2.176.2 Labels: security configuration user-experience Priority: Minor Reporter: Robbert Korving Currently the github auth token has to be copy/pasted in an input field at "Manage Jenkins" -> "Configure System". Because of this an already created token can't be reused. Github doesn't show used tokens and Jenkins doesn't show its credentials content. It can also be seen as a security risk that an access token is exposed in that screen.   I would be great if this plugin can use Jenkins Credentials to set the token or even use the setting from the GitHub Plugin. I imagine everybody who want to use this plugin has the GitHub Plugin already setup. Add Comment

Re: add safer github auth trough GitHub Plugin or through Credentials Jenkins credentials sounds like a good bet as they can be shared between plugins. I'll look into this soon.
