Is there a way to use Apache and Matrix based security together?

[Jonathan Hodgson]

Hi,

I'm running an Apache server, so it makes sense to use that as a proxy for Jenkins, and since the people on the project already have logins and passwords to access other project related pages, it makes sense to me to use that autorization.

But within Jenkins, I'd like to be able to set up fine grained permissions, as per the Matrix Security plugin.

Is this possible in some way?

regards

Jon

It depends how you store your original login details for the users – is it coming from an LDAP server? Perhaps for you it would make sense to use apache as a proxy but let Jenkins do the authentication by connecting to the original provider.

I'm just using basic authentication with .htpasswd.

What is handy is I can make Trac and Mercurial use the same .htpasswd file, which keeps things consistent. If there was a way to do that with jenkins then it would be good, thinking about it's not essential that Apache does the actual authentication.
