Before I break anything, I need to clarify something about setting up Active Directory authentication.
Actually setting up the domain seems straight forward. But... It asks for a backup user (Jenkins Own Directory), so I type in jpeterson. Ok? I have been using NO security. So, how does it know who I am or what my password would be for this? I also don't want ALL domain users to be able to access this. Only a "group". I assume this is configured under the matrix area? I get two long sections - unauthorized user (if I require authentication, why does this even show?) and administrator. I assume I want ALL checksmarks for administrator. But, how does it KNOW me@mydomain is an admin? Where is that configured if nothing has ever been configured before? It also asks for a group. Is this an AD authentication group? Such as Jenkins_Users and Jenkins_Admins? And then it determines by which AD group people are in which permissions they get? There needs to be a clear instruction manual on step-by-step for this as this is such a critical function and if you screw up, you can't get back in and have to restore a backup. Bottom line: I want to (first time) setup security. I want me (jpeterson) to be the backup user in Jenkins Own Directory (which I have never added anybody) I want to be able to have two AD authenticated sets of users - Jenkins_Users and Jenkins_Admins so I can limit permissions for the Users. But not clear if this is setup intneral to Jenkins or via AD groups. Thanks Note - I assume that: Domain Name, Domain Controller are as expected Site is an arbitrary name I give? Bind ID and Bind PWD are the authorized domain admin credentials? Once again, there is no real instructional setup help even on the plugin page. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
