CVS Authentication failed: null

[Ganesh MN]

Hi,

I am configuring jenkins job to checkout code from CVS using cvs-plugin.

But, It is looking for private key locations. I can generate private key on my computer. But, I don't have control on CVS server. So, I cant store public key in server.

So, Please let me know how we can checkout code from CVS just by using user credentials. I mean is it possible to skip SSH authentication?
