Puppet and Jenkins How does Puppet manage Jenkins security

Question

While using jenkins with puppet, does puppet explicitly manage/take care of jenkins security? How does this happen? i am using the jenkins module from the puppet forge.

Answer 1

Jenkins security is not managed by puppet unless jenkins::security is defined.

The Jenkins security model can be set to one of two modes:

• full_control - Users have full control after login. Authentication uses Jenkins' built-in user database.

• unsecured - Authentication is not required.
