All,

I am completely new to Jenkins but am tasked with getting a working 
environment up and running.

Everything appears to running well as follows:

RHEL 7.5
Jenkins ver 2.148

Installed using the below yum repo:
[jenkins]
name=Jenkins
baseurl=http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat
gpgcheck=1

I have it configured to use Active Directory for user authentication and 
roles.

My questions revolve around getting Jenkins connected to GitHub.  I am 
following these steps:

https://gist.github.com/misterbrownlee/3708738

I have created a 'utility user' (say git-jenkins) in GitHub that will 
ideally be the user that Jenkins uses to connect to GitHub.  I also have 
created a key pair for the connection.  Since Jenkins runs as user 
'jenkins' on the server, I created the key pair as this user and imported 
the public key to the 'git-jenkins' utility user in GitHub.

I also set:

Global Config user.name Value
Global Config user.email Value

to the 'git-jenkins' GitHub utility user via: Manage Jenkins --> Configure 
System.


I am trying to follow these steps:

- Make sure the Manage Jenkins > Configure System has the right path to git
- Set the global git user.name and user.email to match your global config 
options
- Configure GitHub Web Hook to Manually manage hook urls
- Click the (?) icon next to the manual option and copy the hook URL you 
see there
- Optionally set the service account email as the Jenkins sender email 
address

However, I am not able to successfully 'test connection' to GitHub in 
Manage Jenkins --> Configure System..

I am able to clone the repository from the command line with a different 
user than the 'git-jenkins' utility user via Jenkins.  But since the 
'jenkins' user on the server does not have a login shell out of the box, I 
am unable to test from the command line.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here as to what I might be 
missing?  I hope I have not confused the situation too much.

Thanks in advance,

HB
