I think there are a couple of issues here.

First of all, the exception from DataInputStream.readBoolean is cryptic and surely a mistake. If authentication is denied, the CLI should print a polite message to that effect.

The main issue is that former versions of Jenkins permitted login via CLI for a user defined in Jenkins configuration with an SSH public key but not present in the actual SecurityRealm, and this is no longer permitted.

In general, Jenkins lacks a feature for creating a phony user identity (principal) with limited authority that may be used from scripts and automations. If an operation requires any special permission at all, you must authenticate as a real user.
