Passwords with any shell special characters aren't handled properly (there is an open JIRA).
So '\' on Unix like OSs will want some escaping - try your password with \\ instead of a single backslash - or put quotes around it. Is your other box which can perform releases a windows box? That's the only reason I can think of that it works on one and not on another. /James From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Usman Ismail Sent: 06 July 2013 01:15 To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Unable to release project from a specific jenkins box using m2 release plugin and perforce SCM I am using the maven release plungin using the jenkins m2release plugin and keep getting the error shouwn below. The username and password is correct as I have tested it on other machines and also to get source from this jenkins box. The password only fails on release and not at any other point. The only weird thing I can think off is that the user name has a '\' in it but this does seem to the phase my other jenkins box which works correctly. Is there anything I can do get a more detailed error message or debug whats going on?
