Jenkins Remote Trigger Not Working

I install Build Token Root Plugin to solve this issue before

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Token+Root+Plugin

Then as the same, setup Authentication Token

Finally, either use curl to trigger remote build (Be careful the escape character "\")

curl http://JENKINS_URL/buildByToken/build?job=JOB_NAME\&token=TOKEN_NAME

or paste the URL to your browser (No needs escape character "\")

http://JENKINS_URL/buildByToken/build?job=JOB_NAME&token=TOKEN_NAME

If you see Succeed, it means that trigger remote Jenkins successfully.

Note that, you don't have to setup build, discover, and read rights on Job

I think there's no need to set up any kind of plugin to make it works, simply do this BATCH CMD:

curl -X POST http://USER_ID_JENKINS_RECEIVER:TOKEN_OF_USER_ID_JENKINS_RECEIVER@URL_JENKINS_RECEIVER:PORT/job/NAME_OF_JOB/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN_JOB_JENKINS_RECEIVER

• To see you USER_ID_TOKEN, go to your username at the top-right of jenkins > go to Configure > Click on API Token and it will be displayed.

• You must configure a token on the JOB_OF_JENKINS_RECEIVER

I have to say that it works perfectly on Jenkins without any kind of permissions to anonymous users.

I had the same problem after setting up a test Jenkins server. The solution was to authenticate using my Jenkins admin password:

curl -u admin:<mypassword> http://localhost:8080/job/Test/build?token=<mytoken>

Use the same username and password you use to login to Jenkins. There was no need to install additional plugins.
