[Lestin Liu]

Hi,

Did anyone have CLI creditential problem? I met with the following messege:

--> java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://hudson-01:8008/ help
You must authenticate to access this Jenkins.
Use --username/--password/--password-file parameters or login command.

--> java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://hudson-01:8008/ login

I think the answer is in the message: 

"You must authenticate to access this Jenkins.
Use --username/--password/--password-file parameters or login command."

If seems like you have security enabled, and you should be providing a --username <username> or authentication method for it to work.
