jenkins API credential issues

[Richard Zilahi]

Hi Guys! 

I am having some issue with credentials when using jenkins. 

I have created a token for the job, and then a token a token for the user i am building the JOB with, and using the following sytanx for the job to be executed from a script: 

http://<ROBOT-USER>:<TOKEN1>@<JENKINS_PATH>/jenkins/job/<JOBNAME>/buildWithParameters?token=<TOKEN2>&gitrepo="+gitrepoPath+"&testcase="+tctorun

This approach working as long as I am logged in jenkins whichever user, so not necessarily with the robot user, but for example admin user, the script execution works. 

If i am not logged in jenkins, the script return “Forbidden” error, which i assume have something to do with the credentials, but as I have provided the tokens, I can’t really figure out what caueses the issue. 

It would be nice if someone could give me a hand in solving this issue, becasue it would have been a huge security issue to open jenkins for everyone, using the “Everyone can do anything” option. 

Do you have any ideas what I am missing here? 

Thank you in advance, 

Richard Z.
