Help Needed: Unable to get Remote Build Trigger working

[Vinoth raj]

I need to use curl to remotely trigger build for a project.

Jenkins ver. 1.580.3

Following setting is done:

In Configure Global Security section:

- Jenkins' own user database set is enabled

- Project based matrix authorization strategy is enabled

There is one user who has all rights enabled here.

Project settings:

Trigger builds remotely is enabled (gave token a value '123abc')

Also, API token for the user is retrieved from user configure page.

Tried different versions of post from curl. 

curl -user <username:apiToken> http://[jenkins:port]/job/projectname/build?token=123abc

I always get:

Authentication required

You are authenticated as: anonymous

Groups that you are in:

Permission you need to have (but didn't): hudson.model.Hudson.Read

Not sure what is causing this authentication fail.

You need to curl -X POST
