I have a question about the groovy script below:
import com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.impl.UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl
def changePassword = { username, new_password ->
def creds =
com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.CredentialsProvider.lookupCredentials(
com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.common.StandardUsernameCredentials.class,
Jenkins.instance
)
def c = creds.findResult { it.username == username ? it : null }
if ( c ) {
println "found credential ${c.id} for username ${c.username}"
def credentials_store = Jenkins.instance.getExtensionList(
'com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.SystemCredentialsProvider'
)[0].getStore()
def result = credentials_store.updateCredentials(
com.cloudbees.plugins.credentials.domains.Domain.global(),
c,
new UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl(c.scope, null, c.description,
c.username, new_password)
)
if (result) {
println "password changed for ${username}"
} else {
println "failed to change password for ${username}"
}
} else {
println "could not find credential for ${username}"
}}
changePassword('BillHurt', 's3crEt!')
The problem I'm having is that when I have jobs that link to any
credentials that get updated by the groovy script, those jobs will lose the
link and break once the credential gets it's new password.
The link breaks because each time the password is updated it gets a new ID.
I don't observe this behavior if I update the password manually via the UI.
I think the reason is in the following line:
new UsernamePasswordCredentialsImpl(c.scope, null, c.description, c.username,
new_password)
I know basically nothing about scripting in Jenkins, but this looks a lot
like rather than updating the password it just creates a new one with the
same name, thus the new ID.
I'm wondering if there is any hope that this script can be modified to
avoid the change in Credential ID so it doesn't break the links in my jobs.
Thanks,
Bill
