I have a Jenkins 1.490 installation on a machine running Windows Server 2008. The Jenkins installation is secured using Jenkins own user database with matrix-based security authorization. Anonymous users don't have any access, except to register an account. I have set up an account and gave this account full access.
Now I'd like to trigger a build remotely from a different machine that hosts the repository. I believe this should be possible by accessing the following URL: https://[username]:[user_api_token]@[address.of.jenkins]:8080/job/[project]/build?token=[project_api_token] However, this does not seem to be working for me. When I access this site in a browser, Jenkins forwards to the login-page, and does not start the build. What am I doing wrong? It seems to be an authentication problem, as I'm not logged in after opening the URL above. Furthermore, if I give anonymous users full access, the URL works. (This question was originally asked on stackoverflow.com<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13420673/remote-access-to-secured-jenkins-server>, but I realize that this is a more appropriate place.)
