Once Jenkins is installed, we can connect to Jenkins from localhost:8080 or <ServerName>:<Port Number> from the browser.
Once we open the url, It asks for username and password to connect to the jenkins server. In most cases, we require username/Password authentication to connect to the jenkins server as shown below:
:
However, In case we want everyone gets full access to the system and do not need to login , We can skip user authentication using below steps:
- Navigate to .jenkins folder (Location: c:\users\<user acc>\.jenkins)
- Open config.xml file in the folder.
- set element<useSecurity> value as false.
- Remove elements authorizationStrategy and securityRealm as shown below:
- Restart Jenkins
- Once Jenkins restart, acess localhost:8080 (check if port is same or different in your jenkins)
- It will not ask for Username and password as shown below and jenkins dashboard will be displayed as shown below
