I am new to Jenkins. While I am trying to install Jenkins in Linux in my laptop and deployed the jenkins.war in apache server and tried to start jenkins using homepage using url https://localhost:8080/jenkins , but it's asking for username and password, I have given admin and system generated password on apache server and all other admin/ admin also but nothing working.
Can anyone tell me the default username and password for Jenkins?
Check the content of /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword.
If jenkins home is different then /secrets/initialAdminPassword.

To browse to Jenkins UI, I can bring up a web browser and go to URL http://:
This seems to be a bit insecure, is there a way I can force username and password to be passed in the url , something like
http://<myServer>:<port>?uname=<username>&pwd=<pwd>
So if the user ever tried
http://<myServer>:<port>
It would give an error that uname and pwd are required or it would just fail to browse ?
This would then verify against Jenkins user credential
Is this possible within Jenkins on Windows Server ?
I did setup jenkins with LDAP and i'm able to login. But when i stop the LDAP server I'm unable to login to jenkins using jenkin's local user account. Also always editing the config.xml is not a good idea to change security settings. Please help me.
What Ive done in a previous role - is a copy of Jenkins config that allows admin & a selection of other users access when LDAP is down.
When LDAP is down , I switch manually
mv config.xml config.ldap.xml
mv config.internal.xml config.xml
Restart Jenkins ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/8077830/1935094 )
The config.internal.xml was setup before I configured LDAP. You could also backup your config.xml , configure Jenkins for internal user access , copy that off and copy back in your LDAP configured config.xml.
Anyway - the idea is that you can still get in , run jobs etc until LDAP is back.
Ive had thoughts about automating it , if LDAP is detected as down ( you could run a lookup periodically , then switch if need be...
As of now, local user login is not possible when LDAP enabled. Jenkins internal user database is automatically disabled when you activate LDAP authentication.
Few Jenkins JIRA to get more details on this.
JENKINS-3404
JENKINS-29162
There is no other way except editing ~.jenkins/config.xml.
Better option is to migrate(LDAP user) to Jenkins own user database.
FOR FUTURE:
- Add a secondary LDAP server on Jenkins host.
- Remember to check "Ignore if unavailable" on the first LDAP.

I am working on Jenkins by following below link and I am new to working on Jenkins.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2016/05/27/continuous-deploymentdelivery-with-jenkins-and-vs-team-services/
Here I am facing the issue when I am installing the Jenkins its redirect to localhost URL and displaying the web page is like below figure and I am downloading the Jenkins from the below link. after redirect that its shows the Jenkins login and here I am informing before that I am not set the any logging details at any where in the Jenkins.

On Linux, default "admin" user password is available in /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword file.
I am not 100% sure about windows, you can check if secrets\initialAdminPassword file is available in Jenkins install directory. If yes, then try to login with credentials mentioned in this file
I've installed Jenkins via Openshift redhat (https://openshift.redhat.com) .. The installation of Jenkins is done..
To access to the interface of Jenkins I've used the username and password of my Openshift account and unfortunately it doesn't work ...
This is the error :
I want to mention that the setup of rhc is done in my local also.
Any idea ?
Thank you
I found the answer
To resume : I should login via ssh to my Jenkins application :
ssh 56b969d****#jenkins-***.rhcloud.com
You will find the exact ssh command for your app on the openshift page for the jenkins application under Remote Access hidden behind a hyperlink that says Want to log in to your application?
After that I do :
cat jenkins/env/JENKINS_USERNAME
cat jenkins/env/JENKINS_PASSWORD
And I ve got my login :
ssh into your application and use the env | grep JENKINS command to view your username/password for jenkins: https://developers.openshift.com/en/managing-environment-variables.html#jenkins-variables
Yep click below link(want to log in to your application) on your applications page, you will see a ssh string for you to login
Then
cat jenkins/env/JENKINS_USERNAME
cat jenkins/env/JENKINS_PASSWORD
you will see your username and password
I have a Jenkins installation on a machine running Windows Server 2008. The Jenkins installation is secured using Jenkins own user database with matrix-based security authorization. Anonymous users don't have any access, except to register an account. I have set up an account and gave this account full access.
Now I'd like to trigger a build remotely from a different machine that hosts the repository. I believe this should be possible by accessing the following URL:
https://[username]:[user_api_token]#[address.of.jenkins]:8080/job/[project]/build?token=[project_api_token]
However, this does not seem to be working for me. When I access this site in a browser, Jenkins forwards to the login-page, and does not start the build.
What am I doing wrong? It seems to be an authentication problem, as I'm not logged in after opening the URL above. Furthermore, if I give anonymous users full access, the URL works.
Try invoking the build from a command-line program like curl:
curl http://[userid]:[user_token]#localhost:8080/job/[project]/build?token=[proj_token]
or
curl --user [userid]:[user_token] http://localhost:8080/job/[project]/build?token=[proj_token]
I think your issue could be browser related, embedding credentials within the URL (Firefox pops up a warning in my case telling me I'm about to login to Jenkins)
