Trigger jobs remotely (REST API) at a specific time

[Alex Brodov]

Hi, 

I have a job which i need to run via the rest api, this job should run only at a specific time, i've configure the "Build periodically" to the following value: '0 1 * * *'

My Jenkins is configured to use Active Directory, i'm also using "Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy" for Authorization.

I have a few problems:

1) The first one is related to REST API: I'm not able to perform a POST request to this job, i'm getting "404", i'm assuming because i have to provide a user and password to this job, which i did and it worked, so my question is there any way to setup in Jenkins a bot user which will be used only for scripts and REST APIs in addition to the Active Directory configuration that i have.

2) Because each REST API call will trigger the build immediately which i don't want to happen, i'm wondering if there any way/technique/plugin to make this job run only at the specified time even if it will be triggered at another time, basically it should be queued or something like this, but it can't run more than once in a day.

Thanks, 

Alex
