Username of active directory user who started the build using API token

[Mandy]

I have active directory authentication on Jenkins and I am launching job remotely using the following command line

curl -u  testuser:7658756hfjsdngsd8908593486 http://jenkinsserver:8080/job/testjob/build?token=onlytest

How can I using groovy get access to this username in the job?

Thanks,

Mandy

The solution is essentially the same as your last question about getting
the IP address of a user starting a job.

If the user was started by a logged-in user, the "cause" of the build
will be UserCause, rather than RemoteCause:

The build is not being started by the logged in user. It is started by another user on a remote machine using some other account credentials on command line. It looks like following

User test1 is looged into Jenkins

User test2 is logged into some remote machine and specifies "testuser" credentials in command line.

Anyone?

Are you not seeing the information you need in the causes? What are you
seeing instead?

I specified UserCause instead of RemoteCause and it still says:

Started by remote host xx.xx.xx.xx

Script returned: []

=================================================

import hudson.model.*

build.getCauses().grep(hudson.model.Cause.UserCause).each { 

  def findcause = it.getUserName()

  println findcause

}

=================================================
