Jenkins and GitHub webhook HTTP 403

0 votes
So I have a github repo which is connected properly to my Jenkins. I want Jenkins to build the job every time there’s a new commit(change in the code). I've installed the GitHub plugin into Jenkins and have allowed for Jenkins to manage it's own hook URLs.

When I have GitHub send a test payload I find this in the nginx webserver that front's Jenkins:

207.97.227.233 - - [15/Sep/2011:07:36:51 +0000] "POST /github-webhook/ HTTP/1.1" 403 561 "-" "-"

You need to create a specific user for GitHub pushes and to grant it Overall read, Job create and Job read. It was also necessary to bundle the authentication into the webhook URL, like so:

https://foo:password@jenkins.example.com/github-webhook/
