Keyring in jenkins cli

[Bhargav sai]

Hi team,

I am working on Jenkins for a few days and a beginner question, I would like to ask. How to input the password to the build. Suppose, I am working on Keyring, and whenever, I set
"keyring set system user", prompts for the password. How can I input the password while the build is going on? Please help me out.

Don't know what exactly "keyring" is, but in order to inject credentials into a build, you'd need to add them to Jenkins, first: "Manage Jenkins" -> "Manage credentials". Then, in the job configuration, you cann check "Use secret text(s) or file(s)" to add one or more credentials bindings, which will put your credentials into environment variables for use in the build steps. Jenkins will also ensure that all ocurrences of the username or password are properly masked in the build log.

HTH...

Dirk

Hi, Thanks for replying. 

Actually, the keyring is a feature in Ubuntu, to store credentials for a particular service or application. What I am trying to achieve here, is, I have integrated the nexus artifact repository in Jenkins to upload the PYthon package(tar.gz) into the nexus repo. While uploading the python package using twine, it's asking for credentials. So, I am gonna store those credentials in Keyring and would like to input that while the job is in process. I'll leave the link below. Please have a look at it and help me out as I am on this task for a long time.

I also don't know Twine, so I checked its documentation. It says:

 

-u USERNAME, --username USERNAME

                        The username to authenticate to the repository

                        (package index) as. (Can also be set via

                        TWINE_USERNAME environment variable.)

  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD

                        The password to authenticate to the repository

                        (package index) with. (Can also be set via

                        TWINE_PASSWORD environment variable.)

So you can use environment variables to provide the credentials, which means you can use the instructions from my previous mail.

Hi again,

Thanks for referring to the documentation. I have used with environment variables, but I would like to implement it with the keyring method. Any suggestions or I'll look into the above mail you have sent. Thank you again.
