使用ajax / javascript登录jenkins

Question

I want to run a Jenkis job that requires login from a web page (outside of jenkins) using ajax currenly i have to have another browser tab with jenkins open (and authenticated) in order for the job to run from my web page

iv'e tried different approaches to sending the authentication info with ajax this is what i currently have:

$.ajax({                              
    type: "POST",
    url: "http://myjenkins/job/job_name/buildWithParameters",
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    data: $("#myForm").serialize(),
    beforeSend: function(xhr){
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "username:password");
    },
    success: function(data) {
    },             
    complete: function(xhr, statusText){
    }                                                                 
});

(there's some more HTML code that receives parameters from a form) if i have an open tab with jenkins authenticated this runs fine, but if i don't i get a "430 forbidden" responce from jenkins.

the "xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "username:password");" is just my latest attempt...

any input is welcome!

Answer 1

beforeSend: function (xhr) {
    xhr.withCredentials = true;
    data: $("[name='parameters']").serialize()
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa("test:d8db6ae61f03219c52042638488e9744"));
},

works for me

Answer 2

This worked for me, thanks a lot, just to expand, it worked because As per RFC 1945, the Authorization header value should contain the username:password as encoded (base64) string, which would result in something like the following header:

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

example:

beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa("username:token"));
}
