How to configure jenkins for user access without login authentication

In the previous article, we explain how to install Jenkins.  Jenkins setup on localhost server

Once Jenkins is installed, we can connect to Jenkins from localhost:8080 or <ServerName>:<Port Number> from the browser.

:

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
