Git+Jenkins authentication question

[Dan Stromberg]

Our github admins recently turned off anonymous git access for public repos.  As a result, several of our jenkins builds are having problems checking out their code.

I see a git-related “credentials” pull down in one of the jobs' configuration pages, and I've set my own creds on it, but it doesn't appear to be helping.  I changed my password not long ago - I wonder if it's still trying to use my old password?

Also, despite telling it to use my creds, it's still using:

git -c core.askpass=true ls-remote -h https://github.intuit.com/DATA2/glitch-common.git HEAD

...which fails with:

remote: Anonymous access to DATA2/glitch-common.git denied.

Is there some way of telling Jenkins I have a new password?  Does Jenkins fall back on anonymous access if a specific password doesn’t work?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You may find it simpler to use ssh with a private key for Jenkins access to the repository rather than wrestling with username / password authentication through https.

You'd then register your ssh public key with the GitHub server and register the private key with the Jenkins server (through the credential page that you used to register your username and password), then configure the job to use that credential.
