How to setup multibranch project with external triggers

[Rainer Hörbe]

I want to trigger builds from an external script for different branches for a github-hosted repository. While this setup works with a pipeline job, I fail to configure it for a multibranch pipeline. When I try to enter a code for the API token, I find only a menu item "View Configuration" at the branch level, which does not allow me to save configuration changes. How would this work?

(The rational for triggering from an API is that there is no direct internet access for the Jenkins server for compliance reasons)

I tried this with the python-jenkins library. Same problem. Pripeline jobs builds can be triggered, but multibranch jobs fail.

I tried also 2 variants with the API, the buildByToken as anonymous user and the default API path for authenticated uses.

I’ve got triggering of Multibranches working using a user API token (from the users config page) and curl. You can’t set job specific tokens on multibranch.

e.g.

Curl -x POST http://jenkins:8080/test-multibranch/job/master/build -u user:0123456789abcedf0123456789abcdef
