I Installed the Active Directory Plugin and users from the domain can access to the jenkins.
Now I need to create new user but this user can't be in the domain so it need to be local user or something.
Is it possible while the Active Directory is enabled in the Access Control ?
Thanks
Not really.
You can make something yourself with Script Security plugin. But then you need to manually script AD/LDAP authentication through that script, plus add the exception for your new user

Facing issue related to adding new users in Jenkins as I am not able to see Manager user options. Jenkins is using ldap for authentication. I believe I don't have admin access to add new user and our old admin has left the team. Is there any way get all admin access from server itself ?
This is a common problem when making changes to secure Jenkins. Whenever you make a mistake and get locked out you may end up having to disable the security in the config.xml. Look for the following line and set it to false. Ofcourse, make sure to make a backup before changing this as the whole security configuration will be erased after you restart Jenkins
<useSecurity>true</useSecurity>
I am creating a build envirnoment and freshly installed jenkins with ActiveDirectory/LDAP auth.
We will have external users which should not be able to login to our domain computers but they should have access to jenkins/jira/... in order to develop with us (perhaps vpn for accessing some dev backends).
So for these users in active directory I set a dummy host they are able to logon (which means no computer at all). Jira/Confluence and dav_svn have no problem with this but it seems jenkins checks this property and refuses the access.
Can anybody tell me what "host" I have to put in there so that jenkins accepts a logon of these users? Or if I have to set a hidden config value in jenkins?
The users to accept are all in a special developer group. If I could simply pass the name of the group but even this does not help (matrix based): the user cannot login.
Thanks ver much!

I have multiple users on a Jenkins server, each with their own credentials for external secured servers needed to run their builds. I am using the credentials plugin to manage the stored credentials. Currently, when a user configures a project, they can use anyones credentials for doing external jobs. I need to make it so that each user only sees the credentials they own when they configure jobs on the jenkins server. How would I do this?
The Folders plugin allows to limit the scope of credentials to a specific folder.
If you're fine with restricting access of different users to different folders (e.g., with the Role Strategy plugin), then this could be a solution.
Just create the folder, enter the folder, then select the "Credentials" link on the sidebar. A new link should appear called "Folder" click that and then define your credentials. Jobs in other folders will not be able to use those.
We use Jenkins and Active Directory plugin for authentication.
For some reason, I need to add a specific account in Jenkins but not in Active Directory.
Is it possible to use both Active Directory and internal user ?
If it's impossible, I think I can modify the plugin to add an account in it.
I know it's not a good idea, but we need this function.
I think it's in ActiveDirectoryAuthenticationProvider.java's retrieveUser() function.
If you have Jenkins deployed to an app server and the app server supports your use case, you can use the "Delegate to servlet container" option in the Security Realm.
You might be able to utilize the Script Security Realm Plugin
When I go to mydomain.example:8080 there is no authorization mechanism by default. I have had look at the configuration area but cannot find anywhere to add a basic username and password
Go to Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security and select the Enable Security checkbox.
For the basic username/password authentication, I would recommend selecting Jenkins Own User Database for the security realm and then selecting Logged in Users can do anything or a matrix based strategy (in case when you have multiple users with different permissions) for the Authorization.
Assuming you have Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security > Enable Security and Jenkins Own User Database checked you would go to:
Manage Jenkins > Manage Users > Create User
Try deleting the .jenkins folder from your system which is located ate the below path.
C:\Users\"Your PC Name"\.jenkins
Now download a fresh and a stable version of .war file from official website of jenkins. For eg. 2.1 and follow the steps to install.
You will be able to do via this method
You need to Enable security and set the security realm on the Configure Global Security page (see: Standard Security Setup) and choose the appropriate Authorization method (Security Realm).
Depending on your selection, create the user using appropriate method. Recommended method is to select Jenkins’ own user database and tick Allow users to sign up, hit Save button, then you should be able to create user from the Jenkins interface. Otherwise if you've chosen external database, you need to create the user there (e.g. if it's Unix database, use credentials of existing Linux/Unix users or create a standard user using shell interface).

If installed as an admin, use:
uname - admin
pw - the passkey that was generated during installation
