Logins (CAS plugin) not working after upgrading to 2.160 (security)

Any way to specify a preferred agent for a job to run on?

2018-04-03 Thread matthew.web...@diamond.ac.uk
We use freestyle jobs which allow concurrent builds. Sometime we have 10+ builds running at the same time, distributed across a number of agents. We use the https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Throttle+Concurrent+Builds+Plugin as well. Some of our agents are slower than others. Unfortunatel

What permissions controls visibility of "Query and Trigger Gerrit Patches"

We're using Jenkins v2.117 with the https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Gerrit+Trigger plugin. We also use the https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Role+Strategy+Plugin plugin. When I log in to Jenkins, I can see the "Query and Trigger Gerrit Patches" on the left side of the screen. Howe

RE: Revoke user tokens warning

You might want to wait for someone else to confirm this, but for us at least: You’re correct, that the front page login is unrelated to the tokens. We revoked all legacy tokens without problems. We had a couple of infrastructure accounts using tokens, which we knew about (and set up new-style tok

Why is Jenkins suddenly telling me about an old security vulnerability

We recently upgraded Jenkins from 2.146 to 2.147 (which is the newest release at the time of writing). Since then, Jenkins has displayed a message in the WebUI: "Because of a security vulnerability discovered earlier, we need to change the encryption key used to protect secrets in your configura
