Can Spinnaker be integrated with a Jenkins instance using non-basic authentication?

Question

According to the Spinnaker docs, Jenkins must be deployed with basic auth to allow integration. My Jenkins server uses Github authentication - does this mean I cannot integrate the two?

I have tried and there is a connection error when retrieving jobs.

Answer 1

Igor (the service that connects Spinnaker to Jenkins) only supports basic auth at the moment.

However, it looks like you can use a github token alongside jenkins http basic auth to get around this problem:

jenkins:
  username: <github_user>
  password: <github_oauth_token>
