For the declarative pipeline, I used to store standard passwords and usernames within the Jenkins instance. And used something like this within the pipeline:
CredentialVar = credentials('Credential_Name')
But now I have an api that will only accept refresh tokens which will expire. Basically, I think the solution is to request a new token each time with an API call when the pipeline is built, but I don't know how to mask that new response token each time.

I am using the Generic Webhook Trigger plugin with a Bitbucket repo. The trigger using token is as follows:
http://jenkins_url/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=SOME_TOKEN
I thought using Token Credential would solve it. Turned out not to be the case. It is just like the regular token. What I don't get is why there is no security measure implemented here. Anyone with that link can trigger as they will. Is this something that can't be fixed?
When a specified HTTP POST request is received, the Jenkins Generic Webhook Trigger plugin enables you to start a Jenkins build. The plugin does not by default have any security safeguards for the request's authorization or authentication. This implies that any HTTP POST request made to the specified URL will start a Jenkins build.
You can use one of the following methods to secure your Jenkins webhook:
Use a secure connection: To send Jenkins the HTTP POST request, use a secure connection (such HTTPS). This will lessen the chance that the request will be intercepted or altered while in transit.
Authentication can be added; you can set the plugin up to demand it for incoming HTTP POST requests. Setting the "Authentication Token" field in the plugin setup will accomplish this. The authentication token must be included in the HTTP POST request as a header or query parameter in order to use this feature.
Utilize a webhook secret to increase the security of your Jenkins webhook. In order to use this functionality, you must configure a secret in the plugin's setup and include the secret as a header or query parameter in the HTTP POST request.
Use a reverse proxy: You can use a reverse proxy to increase the security of your Jenkins webhook by adding authentication, encryption, and rate limitation.
Remember that adding security safeguards to your Jenkins webhook can help prevent misuse and illegal access, but it will also make your setup more difficult. It's crucial to thoroughly assess your system's security requirements and pick the proper safeguards for your Jenkins instance.
I'm trying to enable/disable multiple pipelines based on a condition, would like to create a pipeline that takes the parameter from the user and updates all the other pipelines.
I've found these below documents from Microsoft
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/pipelines/pipelines?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ext/azure-devops/pipelines?view=azure-cli-latest
but I'm not able to find anything for enabling/disabling a pipeline, is there any way of doing this in any other ways?

You can use the REST API Definitions - Update to enable or disable pipelines.
PUT https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/definitions/{definitionId}?api-version=6.0
For its request body, you need to get the definition of the build using the GET REST API first:
GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/definitions/{definitionId}?api-version=6.0
Use the response body of GET REST API as the request body of PUT REST API. And then modify the value of queueStatus according to your requirements.
If you want to enable the pipeline, set the value of queueStatus to enabled; If you want to disable the pipeline, set the value of queueStatus to disabled.
I Currently have a Pipeline built in Jenkins to run my newman Test Cases. So the definition for it is in three steps
Call the Async Test cases.
Register a Webhook and Wait for it to respond back to continue forward.
Call the remaining Test cases.
I'm using the existing "Webhook Step Plugin" to register and wait for my Webhook in Jenkins.
Definition:
Pipeline Definition
Problem:
This resgisterWebhook() method is returning a random URL everytime because it is using the UUID logic to generate a random token. And since its random everytime, my external System cannot know it.
Question:
So i'm looking for a way, where the hook URL will be constant always, so that it can be hardcoded in my external System and called once the Async Operation is completed.
Don't use the webhook step, either use the webhook trigger plugin, or use the generic webhook trigger inside pipeline. (these may be the same thing - I may have just stuttered. Sorry if so!).
Anyway, that lets you set up a static URL you can use to trigger builds.
I'm trying to follow the advice given in Set Hudson Build Description via Web API but I'm getting a 403 presumably because the request has to be authenticated. Since the script is being run from an authenticated Jenkins session, how do I pass those credentials through?
Looks like you need to pass user and api token in your request. Here's an example (not in Python, but I guess you can manage the translation).
Use the 'Execute system Groovy script' Build task which executes in the same VM so you don't have to re-authenticate or manually pass through tokens or credentials.
Is there a simple way of accessing the Jenkins API key (as described by Authenticating scripted clients) of the user that invoked the script? I'm looking to pass it into the build script so that it can perform some maintenance operations back on Jenkins.
Since I never found one, I can say that it's safe to say that (as of May '12, at least) there isn't one.
