Alex Lehmann commented on JENKINS-12582:
----------------------------------------
I think I found the reason why the password is not picked up in my jobs, the
format for CVSROOT is a bit flexible, you can either user
:pserver:user@host/path or :pserver:user@host:/path, most examples use the
additional colon (i didn't notice that you could leave that out before today).
The matching function for .cvspass entries removes the port including the colon
so that only the version without colon is matched.
That should be easy to fix, I will try to write something.
> CVS-Plugin: Password file "${user.home}/.cvspass" is ignored

> Jenkins' new Netbeans-based CVS-Plugin doesn't use the ".cvspass" file.
> Setting the password on every job isn't a suitable solution (huge number of
> jobs, security issues). The ".cvspass" file should be used instead.
