How can I add a username and password to Jenkins?
Go to Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security and select the Enable Security checkbox.
For the basic username/password authentication, I would recommend selecting Jenkins Own User Database for the security realm and then selecting Logged in Users can do anything or a matrix based strategy (in case when you have multiple users with different permissions) for the Authorization.
Try deleting the .jenkins folder from your system which is located ate the below path.
C:\Users\"Your PC Name"\.jenkinsNow download a fresh and a stable version of .war file from official website of jenkins. For eg. 2.1 and follow the steps to install.
You will be able to do via this method
Assuming you have Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security > Enable Security and Jenkins Own User Database checked you would go to:
- Manage Jenkins > Manage Users > Create User
