In the software field, every tool gives the flexibility to use the tool's functionality according to the user's requirements. Moreover, this flexibility comes into the form of " Configurations ". In the same way, Jenkins also provides its configurations so that user uses it according to its ease and requirements. So, in this article, we will discuss some important and most widely used Jenkins configurations. Subsequently, let's see how the Jenkins configure options work by covering the details under the following topics:

What are the Global settings in Jenkins?

How to configure the home directory in jenkins.

  • How to configure System message in Jenkins?

How to configure Executors in Jenkins?

What is the usage option configuration in jenkins, how to configure the quiet period in jenkins, what is jenkins url, how to configure environment variables in jenkins, what is usage statistics, what is the git plugin option.

  • And, what is Email notification?

As a Jenkins admin, Configure System ( Option to configure Jenkins settings ) is the most prominent section of Jenkins . Here, the admin can define global settings that apply to all the projects that are present in Jenkins. Now, the question is how to navigate towards the Configure System option in Jenkins. Subsequently, to navigate to the  Configure System option, kindly follow the below steps:

Note : Kindly note that we are assuming that Jenkins is already installed in the system and we are logged in using the admin account. Additionally, for installing the Jenkins, please visit the InstallJenkins article .

Step 1 : Firstly, navigate to the Jenkins dashboard and after that, click on the " Manage Jenkins " option highlighted below:

Jenkins Configure: Manage Jenkins

Step 2 : Secondly, as soon as we will click on the " Manage Jenkins " option, we will be redirected to the " Manage Jenkins " page. Here, we need to click on " Configure System " highlighted in red under the " System Configuration " section.

Jenkins Configure: configure system

Step 3 : Thirdly, we will click on the Configure System link. Subsequently, we will go to the configuration page as displayed below:

Jenkins Configure: Configure System Page of Jenkins

So in this way, we are on the  configurations page in Jenkins. No, let's see some most popular and most widely used options on this page of Jenkins:

Consequently, let's understand the meaning, usage, and details of all these options in the following sections:

What is the Home Directory configuration in Jenkins?

The first attribute is the Home directory on the configuration page. This attribute tells us where our home directory of Jenkins is placed in the system. Additionally, in this home directory, we can see the log information, plugin information, jobs storage information that we created in Jenkins, and some other configuration-related information. So by default, Jenkins stores all of its data in this directory on the file system.

Home directory information

We can validate the home directory in the file system also like the below image:

Home directory of Jenkins on the Machine

In the next sub-section, let's see how to configure the home directory in Jenkins.

In the previous section, we discussed the concept of the Home directory . Now, in this section, let's see how to configure the home directory in Jenkins ? Follow the steps as mentioned below to configure/change the Home Directory :

Step 1 : Firstly, copy all the items that are present in the current directory and paste them into the new directory. For creating the new directory, just go to the location where you want to paste all items as we moved towards the desktop. After that, create a folder like we created Jenkins Home , and inside that folder paste all the items from the existing Jenkins directory.

Moving items to new directory for changing Home Directory

Step 2 : Secondly, go to the Environment Variables option on Windows  and create a new variable like JENKINS_HOME . After that, paste the new directory path in the variable value section like in the below image:

Jenkins Configure: creating environment variable

Step 3 : Thirdly, restart Jenkins and go to the Configure System page again and this time we can see the changed directory here:

Changed Home directory

In the above image, we can see that the Home directory is changed. So, in this way, we can change the Home directory in Jenkins.

What is the System message configuration in Jenkins?

Jenkins Configure: System Message

Now, let's see in the next sub-section that how to configure system message in Jenkins .

How to configure system message in Jenkins?

If we want to display a message then got to configure the System Message option and do the following things:

  • Put a message in the System message textbox.
  • Click on the Save button.

Jenkins Configure: System message configuration

After click on the Save button, we will be redirected towards the Jenkins dashboard page and now we can see the message in the highlighted section as shown in the below image:

Jenkins Configure Displayed System Message

So, this way we can edit the message to provide any notifications to the users.

What are the Executors configurations in Jenkins?

This configuration option tells us that how many parallel jobs can be run on the Jenkins machine. As in the below image, we are seeing number 2 , so it means that two parallel jobs can be run at a time. We can increase this number according to our requirements.

Jenkins Configure: No of executors as 5

In the next sub-section, we will see how to configure executors in Jenkins?

If we change the number of executors , the number of executors( as shown by the arrow ) under the Build Executor Status section will increase correspondingly, as shown below:

No of executors increased

Kindly note that we will see in further articles regarding distributed builds that how can we use these executors.

The Usage option configuration in Jenkins is used when we work on the concept of the nodes . A node is basically a machine that is part of Jenkins's environment and capable to execute projects or pipelines. This option tells us that how Jenkins schedules build on any node. There are two modes in this options:

  • Use this node as much as possible : This is the default option. Jenkins freely uses this node. Whenever there is a build that can be done by using this node, Jenkins will use it.
  • Only build jobs with label expressions matching this node : In this mode, Jenkins will only build a project on this node when that project is restricted to certain nodes using a label expression, and that expression matches this node's name and/or labels. This allows a node to be reserved for certain kinds of jobs.

Usage Option in Jenkins

Note : As far as the configuration of these nodes is concerned, we will talk about it in further upcoming articles regarding distributed builds in this Jenkins series.

What is the Quiet period configuration in Jenkins?

When this option is non-zero , newly triggered builds of this project will be added to the queue, but Jenkins will wait for the specified period of time ( in seconds ) before actually starting the build. As in the below image, the Quiet period is mentioned as 5, so Jenkins will wait for 5 seconds before starting the new build that is already present in the queue.

Jenkins Configure: Quiet period

In the next subsection, we will see how to configure the Quiet period in Jenkins .

In the previous section, we saw the concept of the Quiet period. So, in the current section, let's see how to configure the Quiet period. Kindly follow the below steps to achieve it:

Step 1 : Go to the Configure system page and set the time period that you want to set a Quiet period like in the below image. After putting time, click on the Save button.

configuring quiet period

Step 2 : Now run any job by clicking on the Build Now link twice. For Eg in the below image, I ran the " Simple Java Program "  job twice and you will see the pending message for the second build.

quiet period option demonstration

So it will wait the time ( quiet period ) then after the build will be executed.

This option, by default, depicts the HTTP address of Jenkins installation in the form of localhost i.e. http://localhost:8080/jenkins/ . We can write DNS (Domain Name) of our machine or overwrite the localhost with the IP address of the machine. This value lets Jenkins know how to refer to itself, i.e. to display images or to create links in emails.

Jenkins Configure: Jenkins URL

What are the Environment variables in Jenkins?

Environment variables are present in the form of key-value pairs in Jenkins . These custom environment variables apply to every build on every node. We can use them in Jenkins' configuration ( as $key or ${key} ) and we will add them to the environment for processes launched from the build.

Environment variables in Jenkins

In the next sub-section, we will see how to configure and use environment variables in Jenkins.

In this section, let's see how to configure as well as use Environment variables in Jenkins . Kindly follow the below steps to achieve it:

Step 1 : Under the configuration page, specify the name and value of the Environment variable like in the below image. After putting, click on the Save button. Kindly note that if you want to add multiple environment variables then you need to click on the Add button and fill in the same name and value information.

Setting up environment variables

Step 2 : Create a new job for the Environment variable demo.

Creation of a job for Environment variables Demo

Step 3 : Go to the configure section of this job and go to the build section. Under the Build section, click on the " Add build step "  dropdown and select option " Execute Windows batch command ".

Selecting execute windows batch command

Step 4 : Now, put the below command in the text area section and click on the Save button. echo %ENV_DEMO%

Here ENV_DEMO   is the same variable name that we defined in the environment variable section.

Putting windows batch command

Step 5: Now run the build by clicking the " Build Now "  link and go to console output to see the result:

Output of environment variable

As we can see in the above image, the value that highlights in the red rectangle is the same value that we set in the environment variable section under the configure the system. So, in this way, we can configure and use the Environment variable.

In any open source project, tracking usage data is very difficult. To address this need, we use the Usage statistics option . When we enable this option, Jenkins periodically sends information like Jenkins version, information about agents, OS type and executors, installed plugins and versions and number of jobs , etc. All types of usage statistics are published at https://stats.jenkins.io/ .

When we try to push our code from Git then we need to configure our username as well as email for authentication purposes. Jenkins gives this option under the Git Plugin section:

  • Global Config user.name Value : if we will give username here then git command git config user. name "your username " will be called.
  • Global Config user.email Value: if we will give email here then git command git config user.email "your email" will be called.

Jenkins Configure: Git Plugin Configuration

Here, Credential based authentication, we generally used as we use username and email to push our code into the repository. So, we can put these values as a part of global configurations.

What is Email Notification?

Email notification option configures SMTP settings for sending mail to specified recipients. This section has two fields that we need to configure:

  • SMTP server : We need to specify the name of the SMTP mail server here. Jenkins uses JavaMail for sending out e-mails.
  • Default user e-mail suffix : If our users' e-mail addresses can compute automatically by simply adding a suffix, then specify that suffix, otherwise leave it empty.

Email Notification

Now, the question is how to configure these email notification options. So we will elaborate on this section in the further article named " Notification ". Conclusively, that's all for discussion regarding some important and most widely used configurations in Jenkins . Subsequently, in the next section, let's see some important takeaways.

Key Takeaways:

  • Every tool gives the flexibility to use the tool's functionality according to the user's requirements. This flexibility comes into the form of " Configurations " .
  • *Additionally, the **Home directory * tells us the placement of our home directory Jenkins in the system. Jenkins stores all of its data in this directory on the file system.
  • Moreover, a system message displays messages on the Jenkins dashboard page.
  • #of executors tells us how many parallel jobs can be run at the Jenkins machine .
  • The usage option depicts that how Jenkins schedules build on any node.
  • Additionally, when the quiet period option is non-zero, newly triggered builds of this project will add to the queue. But Jenkins will wait for the specified period of time (in seconds) before actually starting the build.
  • Moreover, Jenkins URL depicts the HTTP address of Jenkins installation in the form of localhost. This value lets Jenkins know how to refer to itself, ie. to display images or to create links in emails.
  • Environment variables apply for every build on every node. We can use them in Jenkins' configuration (as $key or ${key}) and we will add them to the environment for processes launched from the build.
  • The usage statistics option tracks the usage data in Jenkins.
  • When we try to push our code from Git then we need to configure our username as well as email for authentication purposes. Jenkins gives this option under the Git Plugin section.
  • Lastly, the Email notification option configures SMTP settings for sending mail to specified recipients.

Jenkins : Starting and Accessing Jenkins

  • Features controlled by system properties
  • Administering Jenkins

Starting Jenkins

The easiest way to execute Jenkins is through the built in Jetty servlet container. You can execute Jenkins like this:

Of course, you probably want to send the output of Jenkins to a log file, and if you're on Unix, you probably want to use nohup :

Accessing Jenkins

To see Jenkins, simply bring up a web browser and go to URL http :// myServer :8080 where myServer is the name of the system running Jenkins.

Top of page

Command Line Parameters

Jenkins normally starts up using port 8080. However, if you have other web services starting up you might find that this port is already taken. You can specify a different port by using --httpPort= $HTTP_PORT where $HTTP_PORT is the port you want Jenkins to run on. Other command line parameters include:

Jenkins passes all (or just leading parameters until the first Jenkins-specific parameter?) command line parameters to the Winstone servlet container, so you can get more information by looking at the Winstone Command Line Parameter Reference  and jenkinsci/winstone .

Be Careful with Command Line Parameters

Jenkins ignores command line parameters it doesn't understand instead of producing an error. Be careful when using command line parameters and make sure you have the correct spelling. For example, the parameter needed for defining the Jenkins administrative user is --argument s Realm and not --argumentRealm .

A very simple init script

The following script is for Ubuntu based systems. The RedHat Jenkins distribution contains a startup script. 

Using HTTPS with an existing certificate

If you're setting up Jenkins using the built-in Winstone server and want to use an existing certificate for HTTPS:

The keystore should be in JKS format (as created by the JDK 'keytool') and the keystore and target key must have the same password. (Placing the keystore arguments after Jenkins-specific parameters does not seem to work; either they are not forwarded to Winstone or Winstone ignores them coming after unknown parameters. So, make sure they are adjacent to the working  --httpsPort  argument.)

If your keystore contains multiple certificates (e.g. you are using CA signed certificate) Jenkins might end-up using a incorrect one. In this case you can convert the keystore to PEM and use following command line options:

Passing the Command Line Parameters to an instance on a Mac OSX (Currently is Mavericks 10.9.4) that uses launchctl (rather than using Jenkins.jar to start up)

In this example, we set the Jenkins server to listen for HTTPS on port 8443. Note that we do not disable the httpPort by passing in -1. So in this example, your server would answer on both http and https. We also assume that the user has already created the keystore (see the "Using SSL" section from http://wiki.wocommunity.org/display/documentation/Installing+and+Configuring+Jenkins )

Using HTTP/2

With Java 8 (should be included per default in Java 9), you need to include alpn boot jar in the bootclasspath. The alpn boot jar depends on your jvm version. Have a look here  https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/alpn-chapter.html#alpn-versions  to figure which version to use.

You can download it from (with alpn boot version 8.1.12.v20180117 ):  https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/mortbay/jetty/alpn/alpn-boot/8.1.12.v20180117/alpn-boot-8.1.12.v20180117.jar

Then you have to include it on jvm start:

Configuring https certificates with Windows

Creating a certificate for use within Jenkins. This used a stock Jenkins 1.612 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit. This creates a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority such as Digicert, if making your own certificate skip steps 3, 4, and 5.

This process utilizes Java's keytool, however you do not have to perform a separate Java installation if you don't need it. Jenkins packages a JRE with it when you do the installation, located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jre\bin  

Step 1: Create a new keystore on your server. This will place a 'keystore' file in your current directory.

Step 2: Verify the keystore was created (your fingerprint will vary)

Step 3: Create the certificate request.  This will create a 'certreq.csr' file in your current directory.

Step 4: Use the contents of the certreq.csr  file to generate a certificate from your certificate provider. Request a SHA-1 certificate (SHA-2 is untested but will likely work). If using DigiCert, download the resulting certificate as Other format  "a .p7b bundle of all the certs in a .p7b file".

Step 5: Add the resulting .p7b into the keystore you created above.

Step 6: Copy the 'keystore' file to your Jenkins secrets directory. On a stock installation, this will be at

Step 7: Modify the <arguments> section of your C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jenkins.xml  file to reflect the new certificate. Note: This example disables http via --httpPort=-1  and places the server on 8443  via --httpsPort=8443 .  

Step 8: Restart the jenkins service to initialize the new configuration.

Step 9: After 30-60 seconds, Jenkins will have completed the startup process and you should be able to access the website at https://server-name.your.company.com:8443 ; Verify the certificate looks good via your browser's tools.  If the service terminates immediately, there's an error somewhere in your configuration.

Changing the Localhost (Jenkins URL) for Better Development

Abstract: Learn how to change the localhost (Jenkins URL) for a smoother development experience. This article will guide you through the steps of updating your Jenkins URL and avoiding common errors that may arise. By the end of this article, you'll be able to customize your Jenkins URL to suit your needs and improve your software development workflow.

Introduction

As a software developer, you must have heard about Jenkins, which is an open-source automation server. Jenkins is widely used in the software development industry to automate the building, testing, and deploying of applications. It is a powerful tool that can help you streamline your development process and improve your productivity. However, by default, Jenkins runs on localhost:8080, which can be a problem if you have multiple instances of Jenkins running on the same machine. In this article, we will discuss how to change the localhost (Jenkins URL) for better development.

Why Change the Localhost (Jenkins URL)?

As mentioned earlier, Jenkins runs on localhost:8080 by default. This means that if you have multiple instances of Jenkins running on the same machine, you will run into port conflicts. Additionally, if you want to access Jenkins from a remote machine, you will need to expose port 8080, which can be a security risk. Changing the localhost (Jenkins URL) can help you avoid these problems and improve your development process.

How to Change the Localhost (Jenkins URL)

To change the localhost (Jenkins URL), you will need to follow these steps:

  • Open the Jenkins configuration file
  • Find the following line: JENKINS_ARGS="--httpPort=8080"
  • Change the httpPort to your desired port number
  • Save the configuration file and restart Jenkins

Here is an example:

Find the following line:

Change the httpPort to your desired port number:

Save the configuration file and restart Jenkins:

Changing the localhost (Jenkins URL) can help you avoid port conflicts and improve your development process. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily change the Jenkins URL to your desired port number. We hope this article has been helpful in improving your Jenkins experience.

Ubuntu Installations

Prerequisites, saving iptables configuration, using firewalld.

The default Jenkins installation runs on ports 8080 and 8443. Typically, HTTP/HTTPS servers run on ports 80 and 443, respectively. But these ports are considered privileged on Unix/Linux systems, and the process using them must be owned by root. Running Jenkins as root is not recommended - it should be run as its own user. One solution is to front Jenkins with a web server such as Apache, and let it proxy requests to Jenkins, but this requires maintaining the Apache installation as well. In situations where you are wanting to run Jenkins on port 80 or 443 (i.e. HTTP/HTTPS), but you do not want to setup a proxy server you can use iptables on Linux to forward traffic.

Follow the Ubuntu installation instructions to install and configure the initial Jenkins installation on a supported version of Ubuntu. These instructions are known to not work on Ubuntu versions that are no longer supported by the Ubuntu project.

In order to forward traffic from 80/443 to 8080/8443, first you must ensure that iptables has allowed traffic on all 4 of these ports. Use the following command to list the current iptables configuration:

You should see in the output entries for 80, 443, 8080, and 8443. Here is an example output for comparison.

If you dont see entries for these ports, then you need to run commands (as root or with sudo) to add those ports. For example, if you see none of these and need to add them all, you would need to issue the following commands:

I used -I INPUT 1. In a lot of iptables documentation/examples, you will see -A INPUT. The difference is that -A appends to the list of rules, while -I INPUT 1 inserts before the first entry. Usually when adding new accept ports to iptables configuration, you want to put them at the beginning of the ruleset, not the end. Run iptables -L -n again and you should now see entries for these 4 ports.

Once traffic on the required ports are allowed, you can run the command to forward port 80 traffic to 8080, and port 443 traffic to 8443. The commands look like this:

You can verify the forwarding rules using below command.

Once these rules are set and confirmed with iptables -L -n, and once your Jenkins instance is up and running on port 8080, attempt to access your Jenkins instance on port 80 instead of 8080. It should work and your URL should stay on port 80 - in other words, it should not get redirected to 8080. The fact that forwarding from 80 to 8080 (or 443 to 8443) should remain hidden from the client.

Using the iptables command to change port configuration and routing rules only changes the current, in-memory configuration. It does not persist between restarts of the iptables service. So, you need to make sure you save the configuration to make the changes permanent.

Saving the configuration is slightly different between Red Hat rpm based and Debian-based systems. On Red Hat-based systems (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, CentOS, etc), issue the following command:

On a Debian-based system (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc), issue the following command:

The iptables-restore command will need to be executed manually, or your system configured to automatically run it on boot, against the /etc/iptables.rules file you have created, in order for your iptables configuration to be retained across reboots. On Ubuntu, the fastest way is to install iptables-persistent after configuring iptables. It will automatically create the required files from the current configuration and load them on boot.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo for other Ubuntu options. There are many other resources describing this; please consult your system’s documentation or search on the internet for information specific to your flavor of Linux.

If you are unsure at all about what kind of system you have, consult that system’s documentation on how to update iptables configuration.

Some Linux distributions (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, Oracle Linux, CentOS, etc.) ship with firewalld which serves as a front-end for iptables. Configuration thru firewalld is done via the firewall-cmd command. Instead of using any of the iptables commands mentioned above, all you should need to do is something like:

With the above commands, jenkins can be configured to run on localhost:8080 and/or localhost:8443 (depending if you need or want to do SSL or not)

firewalld will then create the required iptables rules so that incoming connections on port 80 are forwarded to jenkins on 8080 (and 443 is forwarded to 8443).

How to watch Ireland vs Wales: live stream Six Nations 2024 online now, team news

Two big wins take on two narrow defeats in Dublin

James Lowe #11 of Ireland runs with the ball ahead of the Ireland vs Wales Six Nations 2024 round 3 match.

  • Watch in Ireland
  • Watch in the UK
  • Watch in the US
  • Watch in Australia
  • Watch everywhere else

Ireland vs Wales today, Saturday, February 24, has all the hallmarks of a potential Six Nations 2024 classic. The hosts top the table as they seek a slice of history, while the visitors have lost two narrow games but sniff an upset. 

Ireland vs Wales in the Six Nations 2024 is airing for free in the U.K., on ITV1 and the broadcaster's streaming service ITVX, plus RTE2 and RTE Player in Ireland. Don't worry if you're abroad right now, because you can watch Ireland vs Wales live streams from anywhere with a VPN .

Andy Farrell has again made a raft of changes to Ireland’s starting XV as first-choice names such as Bundee Aki, Jamison Gibson-Park, Tadhg Furlong, Tadhg Beirne, Peter O’Mahony and Josh van der Flier all return, but full-back Hugo Keenan is absent. For Wales, Warren Gatland prefers consistency with returning fly-half Sam Costelow the only change. That means young captain Dafydd Jenkins again skippers, with Josh Adams on the wing. For completists, the teams are below…

Ireland: Ciaran Frawley; Calvin Nash, Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, James Lowe; Jack Crowley, Jamison Gibson-Park; Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan, Tadhg Furlong, Joe McCarthy, Tadhg Beirne, Peter O’Mahony,  Josh van der Flier, Caelan Doris

Wales: Cameron Winnett, Josh Adams, George North, Nick Tompkins, Rio Dyer, Sam Costelow, Tomos Williams; Gareth Thomas, Elliot Dee, Keiron Assiratti, Dafydd Jenkins, Adam Beard, Alex Mann, Tommy Reffell, Aaron Wainwright

Television coverage is now underway at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin and the atmosphere is building nicely. There’s a slight bite to a crisp sunny day, which bodes well for a free-flowing game of rugby, with kick-off nearly upon us.

► Time: 2.15 pm UK  / 9.15 am ET / 6.15 am PT / 1.15 am AEDT (Feb. 25)

US: Peacock UK: ITV1 | ITVX (free with license fee) IRE: RTE 2 | RTE Player (free) AUS: Stan Sport How to use a VPN to watch any stream

Ireland are flying at the minute. Top of the table with two bonus-point wins out of two, Andy Farrell's side are desperate to become just the fifth side in the tournament's 142-year history – and first in the six-team era – to win back-to-back grand slams. Farrell rested a number of starters in the blowout 36-0 victory over minnows Italy two weeks ago but Dan Sheehan wasn't one of them, the stellar ball-carrying hooker is a surprising top try scorer this tournament. Winger James Lowe, who loves a line break, has also shone in both attack and defense with the post-Jonny Sexton era starting swimmingly.

Wales may have lost both opening games, but three bonus points and a points difference of just -3 prove just how narrow those defeats to Scotland and England have been. In the former, Warren Gatland's men roared back from a 27-0 deficit to score 26 unanswered points, then allowed a nine-point half-time lead slip to fall 16-14 to the Red Rose last time out. George North and Nick Tompkins have forged a fine center partnership, while fly-half Sam Costelow has recovered from a neck injury to start at first receiver as the Welsh seek a first victory in Dublin in 12 years. The odds couldn't be more stacked against them, just how they like it. 

Make sure you know how to get an Ireland vs Wales live stream today. Luckily, we’ve got all the information on that below, including how to watch the Six Nations 2024 from anywhere.

After upgrading to 2.440.1, can't connect node without secret parameter

After upgrading Jenkins to 2.440.1, it seems I can’t figure out how to remove the secret parameter when connecting nodes to the controller. Previously you used to be able to give Agent-Connect permissions to the Anonymous user and that would allow you to make the node connection without the secret parameter, but that’s not working with 2.440.1.

I know the jnlpUrl parameter has been removed in favor of url, and I’ve updated to that but seems secret is now required.

Is that an intentional change or is it a bug? I didn’t see any documentation mentioning this.

I have a Jenkins controller with hundreds of nodes connected to it, and I don’t really want to manually update all those connections to include a unique secret hash for each.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think Unify two entrypoints by basil · Pull Request #677 · jenkinsci/remoting · GitHub made the secret a requirement
