Masking Basic Auth header when using CURL to trigger remote jenkins job

I want to trigger remote Jenkins job from my container(k8s).

Currently, I'm using:

curl -k -X POST -u $USER:$JENKINS_TOKEN "${JENKINS_URL}/job/{$JOB_NAME}/buildWithParameters?token=12345"

But this information($USER,$JENKINS_TOKEN) is displayed in ArgoUI, is there any secure/other way to save credentials for remote trigger?

Solution

  • You can try one of the following.

    Save the password in a file called password-file and read from that

    curl -k -X POST -u $USER:$(cat .password-file)"${JENKINS_URL}/job/{$JOB_NAME}/buildWithParameters?token=12345"

    Accept credentials from the STDIN.

    curl -k -X POST "${JENKINS_URL}/job/{$JOB_NAME}/buildWithParameters?token=12345" -K- <<< "--user $USER:$JENKINS_TOKEN"

    You can also try using --netrc-file option with curl where you can store the username and password in a file itself.

    file

    machine JENKINS_HOST login USERNAME password PASSWORD

    Curl Command

    curl -k -X POST --netrc-file my-password-file "${JENKINS_URL}/job/{$JOB_NAME}/buildWithParameters?token=12345"
