I do not want new users to be able to sign up. So in Jenkin's Configuration, I disabled "Allow users to sign up" with using Jenkin's own user database.
But how can I manually add users now?
Also, is there a default admin user I should take care of?
There is "Create Users" in "Manage Jenkins".
In case "Allow users to sign up" was already disabled and security turned on and there is no user you can use to login the only way to go is to change Jenkins configuration manually on the server and restart server.
Thing to change is in Jenkins Home folder i config.xml file.
change
<useSecurity>true</useSecurity>
to
<useSecurity>false</useSecurity>
restart and refresh browser
Voila!!!
Manage Jenkins -> Jenkins own user database, Anyone can do anything. Then you are not forced to login or signup. Manage Jenkins -> Manage Users and you create your users, then setup security accordingly.
If you don't setup the security method first there is no way to add users.
A convenient way for configuring Jenkins is to edit the config.xml file directly and use the Manage Jenkins -> Reload configuration from Disk hyperlink instead of restarting the service.
The recommended way to handle this is to use matrix based security and leave sign up on. Set default permissions to nothing, this way when people sign up they can't actually do anything until you explicitly grant them permissions. If you don't want to leave the sign up on for some reason, you will have to enable to add users and then disable when you are done. As far as I know there is no way to add a user with sign up turned off unless you want to hand edit the config files.
There is no default admin user, you will want to make sure you add yourself with max permissions or you risk getting locked out when you enable security.

I have recently switched to using AD login on my Jenkins instance but I notice Jenkins has restricted the functionalities I can access including the Manage Jenkins view:
I can no longer login with the admin user after this re-configuration since it returns incorrect password from the Active Directory.
Did I miss something else in configuring AD authentication ?
If so what because the guide I followed was straight-forward and has no mention of using the built-in database users. I am not sure either if my permissions will be linked to my AD group ( my AD user is not in Admin group).
I am also not sure on whether Jenkins continues supporting login with the admin user after you have enabled AD authentication.
So this will come down to you Authorization Plugin and what you have setup there.
If you are using the Role Based Strategy and haven't granted your user Admin permissions then it is correct for you have not got them.
When setting up the Active Directory Plugin in the Advanced menu there is an option for Use Jenkins Internal Database which allows
This option allows to fallback into the Jenkins Internal User Database for the specific user selected (ONLY ONE USER).
You could select this option and set your built in user (or admin) as the fallback.
If you are currently totally locked out you can edit the config.xml and set <useSecurity> to false and restart the Jenkins process which will remove the Active Directory config
i have a little problem i installed the Active Direcory Plugin in combination with role based strategy. Now i can login with Active Direcotory Users but not anymore with local users. How i can login with Local-Jenkins-Users to Jenkins ?
The local Users are already in the Role-based-strategy with admin permission.
Are anything possible like login locally e.g. .\ since Windows Login without a Domain
I read some articles and I think you can't mix two kinds of strategy (local + AD).
The best option is to change the authorization stragegy like bellow:
Next, add some permissions/roles to your AD account.
Switch again on the Role-Based stragegy and you should be able to use your AD account.
I installed jenkins on a CentOS system. Now I am able to open the jenkins web page on localhost:8080. I want to add a login required for accessing this url. I enabled security on 'Configure Global Security' page then set 'Unix user/group database' under 'Security Realm'. In Authorization part, I set 'Logged-in users can do anything'. By doing this configuration, only logged in user can do build and modification on jobs. But there is a problem that users can still read all the jobs information without log in. How can I prevent anonymous users to access my jenkins web page?
Using the "Matrix based security" helps you here. And then uncheck all the checkboxes from the Anonymous user.
Under the "Jenkins’ own user database" also uncheck the "Allow users to sign up" sign up option. This way you can prevent unwanted users.
Good luck!
When I setup TFS for the first time, I usually use the TFSSetup account, and with this account going to login for the first time.
How to login as a different user?
How to check who the current user is?
Checkout a file in Source Control Explorer and user column it will show your username with which you are connected to TFS.
If you want to connect TFS using other credentials, then add the address of your TFS server and the credentials in Credentials Manager(Control Panel->User Accounts->Credential Manager). The next time you try to access TFS, these credentials will be used.
Clear the user's credentials in the Credential Manager. This will then bring back the Authentication Window when trying to connect to TFS.
Another approach you can take that worked for me, was to log into the web interface for TFS, then use that to log in as another user. So, navigate to:
http://yourtfshost:8080/collection/web/ (or whatever your web address is)..
Then, click on your name in the corner and select "sign in as a different user."
Essentially, this does the same thing as the above suggestions. It simply replaces your credentials in credential manager with the correct ones.
We have our F5 LTM BIG-IP® Configuration Utility setup in an Active/Passive setup, and have different links to each admin utility console.
Is it possible to display the Failover Status (active vs standby) on the Login Page so you don't have to login to see the status? It's frustrating to login only to see you've logged into the Standby node.
I don't believe so, but if you go to System>Preferences you could modify the "Security Banner Text To Show On The Login Screen". Generally, here you would specify a custom security message which provides legal protection to your organization, such as a message stating that unauthorized access is forbidden and what password restriction that other users should be specifying (the login screen of the BIG-IP Configuration utility displays the text that you specify in this field). Here, you could probably mention which is active and which is standby without syncing this change to the group. Just make sure that whenever you fail-over from one device to the other (shouldn't be too often); that you simply adjust this message and you should therefore be good to go with that. Hope this helps :)
