Trigger a Openshift Jenkins Job via command line (CURL)

3/6/2020

I am trying to trigger a job present in jenkins hosted in openshift platform. I am trying to trigger the job through command line.

I tried the below:

curl -x post -u username:password https://myjenkins.com/job/myjob/build?delay=0sec

and this resulted in

Invalid password/token for user:

  1. I tried to use create a token in jenkins and supplied that too and no luck.

  2. I removed the user id and password from my curl command and that resulted in the error message No valid crumb was included in the request

  3. I then tried to do a wget to get a crumb. The command runs but does not return anything

./wget -q --auth-no-challenge --user username --password password --output-document - 'https://myjenkins/crumbIssuer/api/json'

  1. 'Options Enable proxy compatibility' and the 'Prevent Cross Site Request Forgery exploits' are checked in jenkins security configuration

Any help much appreciated.

To trigger builds remotely, you need to create an authentication token too.

Once you have the authentication token, you can pass it as a parameter while making the request like job/myjob/build?token=<authentication-token>.

You can perform the operation using either username:password or username:apiToken.

$ curl -x post -u username:password http://myjenkins.com/job/myjob/build?token=wefiytgw...
$ curl -x post -u username:apiToken http://myjenkins.com/job/myjob/build?token=wefiytgw...
