[Win] got war file; cannot login

[Thomas Hofmann]

Hello everybody,

I'm new to the list.

I have downloaded the war file under Windows (7). I've started Jenkins once and it did run.

Today is "the next day". As I wanted to login, I had no success.

My command line looks like this:

java -jar c:\temp\Software\Online\Jenkins\jenkins.war --httpPort=9090 --argumentsRealm.roles.toohoo=admin --argumentsR

ealm.passwd.toohoo=XXXXXXXXXX --logfile=c:\temp\jenkins\logs/winstone_date-20180430-103646.log

What can be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Have you considere running Jenkins in Docker - see here: https://engineering.riotgames.com/news/putting-jenkins-docker-container

Jenkins has built in security realms with default authentication that are independent of the container's security. So if you see a friendly butler-themed login page, these are not the credentials to use.

Check secrets/initialAdminPassword in JENKINS_HOME, if that exists try user 'admin' and that password.

Hello Thomas,

thanks for the hint. No, I didn't. We have some software policies that forbid this, I guess.

Thanks so far, Thomas

Hello Daniel,

I've solved it somehow. I did find a XML conf file. There I did change some 

false/true-settings. In the end the Jenkins was open for write by everybody (also unknown user).

Then I could remove user admin and add a new one with defined pw. I also created a "work-"account.

Then I did set back the openness.

Thanks so far, best regards, Thomas
