How can i solve session timeout problem, I am monitoring my project status through "Status Monitor Plugin" and I used jenkins auto refresh plugin , more than 5 auto refresh plugin in mozilla but it no one worked for me . Is there any suggestion?
Under "Configure Global Security" there is a checkbox named "Enable Single SignOut" whenever the user logs out of CAS (e.g. when logging out of another CAS-enabled application), the corresponding Jenkins session will be destroyed and the local user logged out as well.

I am trying to install Jenkins on Windows 10. When I run the windows installer, it asks for a user account. Which account is that? I create an account in Jenkins but when I do test connection, it says "User name and/or password incorrect".
Can someone please help me here?
Thanks!
If you are on Windows 10 what you can do is:
use the window search bar to search for Local Security Policy and open it.
Click on Local Policies
Click on User Rights Assignment
By the right side showing the policies, open Logon as a service
Click on Add User or Group button.
In the input part written enter the object name, input the account name you created that you want to change to a service account.
Once you have inputed it, click on Check Name to verify.
finally click ok and you are good to go, you can now use the account while installing Jenkins.
Based on your question, following is what I am guessing,
If you are installing Jenkins from an installer and it asks for windows username/password, then your login might need higher privilege(Administrator) rights to install further.
If the installation is successful, then initial username is "admin" and password could be located at,
$JENKINS_HOME/secrets/initialAdminPassword
cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
Check these links - ubuntu, windows
I suppose you got the error when you tried to install Jenkins and selected Logon Type Run as service as local or domain user.
If so, I ran into the same problem. I solved it by creating a new user on windows.
Type Add, edit or remove other users and double klick it
In the new dialog under Other users select Add someone else to this PC
Click on I don't have this person's sign-in information
Click on Add a user without a Microsoft account
Enter username and password
Enter the new credentials into Jenkins installer dialog
Refer to my anwser to a similar question. It is asking for a Windows account with "Log on as a service" permission. This is the account Jenkins app will run under.
These steps helped for me:
Download the latest Jenkins war from https://www.jenkins.io/download/
Keep it program files folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins)
Start Jenkins (java -jar jenkins.war)
Check console.
Now stop this Jenkins instance (Cntrl +C)
In "Services", find the Jenkins and set the credentials one more time in the "Logon" tab. Save changes.
Now start the old instance through service, it should start normally and old jobs should appear at the console.
I don't know Jenkins at all. I want to install Jenkins on Windows 10. I downloaded the installer and ran it, but I have a problem. I don't know what to enter in the "Account" and "Password" fields on the "Service Logon Credentials" stage.
if I use the username and password of my Windows account(with administrator privileges) the following information is displayed:
When installing a service to run under a domain user account, the account must have the right to logon as a service. This logon permission applies strictly to the local computer and must be granted in the Local Security Policy.
Perform the following to edit the Local Security Policy of the computer you want to define the ‘logon as a service’ permission:
Logon to the computer with administrative privileges.
Open the ‘Administrative Tools’ and open the ‘Local Security Policy’
Expand ‘Local Policy’ and click on ‘User Rights Assignment’
In the right pane, right-click ‘Log on as a service’ and select properties.
Click on the ‘Add User or Group…’ button to add the new user.
In the ‘Select Users or Groups’ dialogue, find the user you wish to enter and click ‘OK’
Click ‘OK’ in the ‘Log on as a service Properties’ to save changes.
Then try again with the added user.

Below solution worked for me on Windows10.
Select Logon Type = Run Service as Local System ,click Install and complete the setup
To unlock Jenkins, Go to C:\Program Files\Jenkins and open jenkins.err
Get Administrator password ,paste and Install suggested plugins.
Create first admin user and start using Jenkins
Follow Chanaka Karunarathne's answer, just in the 'enter the object name to select' section enter your PC's user name. If you do not know what is your user name then just open a command prompt and run 'whoami'.
I followed this procedure to install Jenkins and it worked like a charm,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Zs0gQq1Yc
Step1:
Download the "jenkins.war" file.
Step 2:
Run this command java -jar jenkins.war
Step 3:
Copy the secret that you get from this location,
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\secrets\initialAdminPassword
Use this Key when prompted to "Unlock Jenkins",
If you are a windows 10 home user, you need to download and install GPEdit.msc in Windows 10 Home using PowerShell script before you can use "Local Security Policy". you can download it from here.
I was be able to follow https://stackoverflow.com/users/4309588/chanaka-karunarathne's suggestion, but when it went to the next step, I tried to enter my "admin"(aka laptop login credentials), in my case I usually login with the 4-digit code to my Windows; and even if I use the password associated with the account, it would be my email as username and it's windows password as password, but I have setup two-step authentication for my email as well. it would not work.
I ended up username + 4 digit pass-code would not work on this
username(email address) + password would not work as well (due to the MFA)
I don't know why it had to be this difficult to login to Jenkins (or not sure if I should be upset about myself for setting up MFA for my email :) )
#elysium You can solve such problem by switching from Microsoft Account to Local Account for your computer. On assuming that your computer is similar to mine, you can navigate as follows;
Press/Click the Microsoft Windows tab on your keyboard.
Navigate to your profile picture and click on "Change Account Settings"
Navigate to Log in with Local Account instead and make the switch from Microsoft Account to Local Account.
Follow #Chanaka Karunarathne 's instructions. If you cannot find Local Security Policy, Go to search and type winver to confirm if you are using either of this OS versions ; Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Education, Windows 10 Pro Edu, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Pro Workstation) otherwise Windows 10 Home lucks Local Security Policy, atleast for my case.
Alternatively, as mentioned in some previous comments here, to enable Group policy in Windows 10 Home, download a from here, right click on it run as administrator. Press Window Key + R, type gpedit.msc to check if Group policy has been enabled as described in this majorgeeks youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wkgwEhtqdI&ab_channel=majorgeeks)
In Windows 11, I am getting the same error even though provided user and password are correct. So I have installed Jenkins as LocalSystem.
After completion of installation, I changed it from the services and it worked for me.
Our team has a hudson instance. Multiple users use it. However, even though a user checks the 'Keep me signed in' checkbox on the sign-in ("Welcome to Jenkins") page, it still asks at every new launch of that link.
I am the admin of the hudson server. Is there a way I can disable this so that the users who use the hudson instance aren't inconvenienced with logging in everytime once they have selected the 'Keep me signed in' checkbox on the sign-in page?
When we migrated our Jenkins server, users started complaining about a similar issue. It turned out that the default session timeout was low (30 minutes).
You can check your default timeout:
import org.kohsuke.stapler.Stapler;
Stapler.getCurrentRequest().getSession().getMaxInactiveInterval() / 60
Change the timeout (steps for Ubuntu).
Edit the file /etc/default/jenkins with the settings below and reboot the machine.
2.1. Add variable session timeout (in minutes).
SESSION_TIMEOUT=660
2.2. The new variable should be included in JENKINS_ARGS:
JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=/var/cache/$NAME/war --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT --httpListenAddress=$HTTP_HOST --sessionTimeout=$SESSION_TIMEOUT"
You can see also:
Increase the Jenkins login timeout
I am using hudson 3.3.3 and have just moved my hudson server to a new server and after movement. But i am not able to login to new hudson server. When i give my login credentials, hudson logs shows me successful login:

But the screen still shows login option on top right and not getting "Manage Hudson" option. I added anonymous user as admin in hudson-security.xml file and after restart i am able to see "Manage Hudson" option without login. So admin access is open for each user at this time. How can i solve this as security risk is too high with everyone having admin access :(
I assume that you have moved all needed plugins, secrets folder and users folder from your old server. I assume that you have used the initial admin password to unlock the new Jenkins server.
I suspect that after you login, there could be redirect, please double check the URL before and after the login.
There could be DNS issue. If the Jenkins URL is the same for the new and the old server try to login by IP.
Double check configurations, for example if you are using nginx as reverse proxy.
I tried to enable Jenkins CI security according to instructions in the wiki (the “Initial Steps” part). When I save the configuration, the browser asks me for some credentials, but since I haven't set any yet there is no way to get in to create a new user account (according the page above) and as a result I'm getting
Status Code: 401, Exception: Bad credentials
To get back into Jenkins, look at this page: Help! I Locked Myself Out.
To prevent what happened from happening again, I have always found it easiest to enable the security (I'm not sure which method you set), and then add my own user with the "Add" button.
I had the same problem using Chrome on Linux and getting locked out every time by
an auth popup as soon as I saved the security settings.
I found that using either a Chrome "Incognito Window" or Firefox worked Ok.
