Does this plugin support form-based authentication? It does not work for me, when I enter URL, username and whatever password in the settings dialog, then “Test Connection returns [Fail] Server Internal Error: Server Unavailable”. I’m using HTTPS with trusted certificate.

Hi,

I use HttpClient to handle connection with the server and the redirection too (e.g: Apache/Ngnix in front and Tomcat in back). Could you please give me detail about it?

Thanks,

David

I’m running Jenkins on Tomcat 7 with nginx as a reverse proxy in front. Jenkins is configured with a servlet container authentication (i.e. Tomcat; I need mixed auth LDAP + local users) and Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy.

When I click to Test Connection, then this appears in my nginx log: x.x.x.x - jirutjak [16/Apr/2013:00:22:18 +0200] "POST /api/json?tree=nodeName HTTP/1.1" 500 2433 "-" "Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1" "-"

It seems that it’s not about privileges, I’ve tested it as an ordinary user and admin as well.

EDIT: I’ve just tried to catch some packets and the problem is really with form authentication, the plugin uses just HTTP Basic header. However, form authentication is the default one in the current Jenkins versions.

HTTP Status 500 - anonymous is missing the Read permission
hudson.security.AccessDeniedException2: anonymous is missing the Read permission

This page advices to use API token for authentication.

Hi,

Dealing with Jenkins security is tricky. I will look at it and provide an option to handle authentication token-based.

FYI, IntelliJ embeds HttpClient 3.1, not the latest 4.0. I hope I will be able to make it works with that legacy lib.

Hi,

It is quite complicated to deal with the legacy http-commons 3.0. When IntelliJ embed HttpClient 4.0, I will migrate the code.

Sorry,

David

I think it is closed because we use newer http client library within Idea. If not please reopen or file a new issue.
