How do I create a job in Rundeck to test a website login?

Question

I am a beginner with Rundeck, I would like to create a job to test logins in a specific website. How do I do that?

Answer 1

You can create a job with an inline script step that calls the site API using CURL.

For example, to test against rundeck itself you can use the following script inside a rundeck job:

curl -v -c cookie -b cookie -d j_username=admin -d j_password=admin http://localhost:4440/j_security_check \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    http://localhost:4440/api/38/system/info/

And the job definition, you can copy it and save it as a YAML file, then import it to your project to test.
