We use Jenkins parameterized jobs with password parameter, and also using rebuilder.
when I use Jenkins rebuilder on parameterized jobs, the password parameter is also stored, as well as the previous
Is there a way to prevent Jenkins rebuilder store passwords type parameters?
I do make a statement here - this is not Jenkins secret store parameter - rather Jenkins passwords build parameter, but this is not less sensitive...
Tnx

I’ve seen many articles for sending Jenkins parameters to Gradle, which are passed as System variables, but have not come across doing the opposite. In my build.gradle file I have specified 2 parameters for a file name and version number. In order to pass this file name to the next job in the pipeline, I’d like to send the parameters to the next Jenkins job so it can make use of the file.
Is sending gradle params back to Jenkins possible using built in functionality??
I have a problem. I use Jenkins to deploy application on machines. Depending on which machine i want to deploy new version I need to use different database passwords to run db migrations. I want to store credentials in Jenkins and for each deploy job select credentials set from dropdown which will be passed (just password ) to powershell script. I have Credentials Binding Plugin and Extended Choice Parameter Plugin. I thought it might help me with my problem, but I cannot find solution for this. Do you have any ideas how to achieve this?
As I understand, you need only to do two things:
add Credential Parameter in This project is parameterized section for possibility to select credentials set from dropdown.
enable Use secret text(s) or file(s) option in Build Environment section. This will allow you to take credentials of various sorts and use them from shell build steps and the like. Each binding will define an environment variable.
If you have already created Jenkins credentials like these:
then you will be available to run your job using Build with Parameters button and select needed credentials:
So, after configuring, you don't need to dig in job configuration each time, all possible credentials will be automatically loaded, you need only select the needed one when run a job.
My aim:
To use a password in jenkins which is masked after input and runtime.
I only need it for my job.
I can use it in my java code to login to a website.
Areas I have looked at:
The credentials plugin - this looks like the right area (but I'll need to get the sysadmins to add me as its locked down).
Also I can't find out how you can access the output?
Have a look into the EnvInject plugin, there you can define password parameters that are masked in console output and job configuration, they can be used like normal parameters.
The screenshot shows the configuration in the job to use a local password.
The shell script build step I used is
echo "myPassword = $myPassword"
The resulting console output is:
+ echo 'myPassword = [*******]'
myPassword = [*******]
To pass it to Java you can use it like any other parameter from the job configuration. The value itself is encrypted, so checking the job configuration as XML will not reveal the password either.
You can use the jenkins credentials binding plugin.
After installing the Credentials Bindings plugin, the Build Environment section of your build job Configuration page will include a new option:
Use secret text(s) or file(s)
Enabling this option allows you add credential bindings where the Variable value will be used as the name of the environment variable that your build can use to access the value of the credential.

we use Jenkins as CI tools.
we want to separate login from other process.
we define a job for login, in this job we validate user and if user is valid we get user id.
at other job we need to have user id to generate result,Our problem is how we can send first job result(here:user id) to second one?
You can do this with the use of two plugins:
EnvInject Plugin
Parameterize Trigger Plugin
EnvInject allows you to inject variables into the Jenkins environment so they are available even after that build step.
Parameterize Trigger plugin allows you to pass information in this build job to another build job you want to start as parameters.
Once you've determined the username (I assume in some sort of batch or bash, you don't note the OS) you'll need to write it to a file on the system using a key=value pair. Then use EnvInject to get the value from the file into the jenkins environment. After that you'll use the parameterize trigger plugin to build the next job with parameters. This will require that you check the This build is parameterized box in the second job and that you define the appropriate parameters (perhaps with a default value that you can use to intentionally fail the build if you don't get a good value).
The issue here is once the first Job in a Jenkins pipeline is done, we need to ask some inputs from user and based on the user Inputs to decide the next job to be triggered(Job2 or Job3)
tried build flow and parameterzied trigger plugin but didn't find any suitable option under these.
Any other plugin or jenkins feature which can help in achieving the above scenario?
There are a few plugins I have tried which collect user input on manually triggered jobs in a build pipeline: Active Choices Plug-in 1.2 and Extensible Choice Parameter 1.3.2.
With Active Choices you define a list of selections and a default value. With Extensible Choice Parameter you can have a text box and a default value.
This is how they work for me in Build Pipeline 1.4.8 on jenkins 1.628
If you run the manual step directly in the pipeline the default is used and other parameters propagate through correctly.
If you open the step there is an option to Build with Parameters which will ask for the user input. This works but other parameters like the build number do not propagate through so the pipeline is broken, and the pipeline screen does not show the status.
Jenkins will never pause and ask a user for inputs. It is an automated build system. It doesn't expect anyone sitting at the console watching the progress.
You can provide "inputs" or parameters when you manually trigger the job, i.e on the first job in your pipeline. You can them pass these parameters to downstream jobs, either through the Parameterized Trigger plugin or through a file copied between jobs.
If you need a human decision in the middle of your build flow, consider Promoted Builds plugin. With this plugin, a human can select a build, and then decide which "Promotion" to execute (which could branch your workflow as you need). The promotions can also be automated if needed, based on criteria and not human input.
