HTTP NTLM authentication in jenkins pipeline script - jenkins

Question

I am trying to post request which requires NTLM authentication. The curl command works fine when i do post call but same method request won't work with jenkins pipeline script.
Curl command:
curl -X POST -k -v -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -H \"Content-Length: 0\" --ntlm -u domain/username:password http://blrapi/ExeWebAPI/testplans/run/username/89cd1093-6558-4321-b689-cb1
Jenkins Pipeline code
def getClient(){
def server = ""
def username = "username"
def userpassword = "password"
def domain = "domain"
def client = new HttpClient()
client.state.setCredentials(
AuthScope.ANY,
new NTCredentials(username, password, "", domain)
)
return client
}
def RunPlan( planId ){
SknetPost("hhttp://blrapi/ExeWebAPI/testplans/run/username/89cd1093-6558-4321-b689-cb1","")
}
def skynetExecute(httpMethod){
def httpResponse = ""
def sknetClient = getClient()
try {
int result = sknetClient.executeMethod(httpMethod)
println "Return code: ${result}"
httpResponse = httpMethod.getResponseBodyAsString()
}
finally {
httpMethod.releaseConnection()
}
return httpResponse
}
void SknetPost(url, jsondata) {
def post = new PostMethod( url )
post.doAuthentication = true
post.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json")
StringRequestEntity requestEntity = new StringRequestEntity( jsonData , "text/html", "UTF-8");
post.setRequestEntity(requestEntity);
httpResponse = sknetExecute(post)
return httpResponse
}
}
When i execute the program it gives 401- unauthorized access error. Same credentials were used curl command it works fine but in jenkins pipeline it fails.
Please help me to solve this issue.

Web requests with NTLM authentication from Jenkins pipeline could be realized with the HTTP Request Plugin.
Add the Credential (user/password) in the jenkins credential store.
You could then use httpRequest in your pipeline:
script {
def response = httpRequest httpMode: 'GET',
url: "http://localhost:80",
authentication: '3bb9use-your-id-from-store',
useNtlm: true
println("Status: "+response.status)
println("Content: "+response.content)
}
