We use active directory plugin for allowing users to login to Jenkins  ( run on a CentOS box )

 

The issue we had was that once whilst trying to make some change in ‘Configure Global Security’  and after saving it ,  no user was able to login using their AD credentials .

 

This happened because Chromes autofill ,  added the username as the ‘bindName’ in the Advanced fields for ‘Active Directory’  . 

 

This was very disruptive and serious , but happened very silently as normally the ‘Advanced fields’  are not expanded and seen for this to be noticed .

 

The fix of this was to manually remove the <bindName> entry from the config.xml and restart the Jenkins instance .

 

This email is as FYI and in case others have seen this too . Will probably file an issue in Jenkins for this .

 

Taher .

Maybe more fields should be marked with autocomplete="off"

Is this a setting to be done in Jenkins  by me  or a change in the code of core Jenkins or the Active Directory plugin ?

In Jenkins code (and possibly the plugin)
