Jenkins Remote Trigger Not Working

Question

I am getting the following error when i try triggering a build using the following command:

curl http://jenkins_server:port/jenkins/job/job_name/build?token=token_name

Answer 1

I had the same problem after setting up a test Jenkins server. The solution was to authenticate using my Jenkins admin password:

curl -u admin: http://localhost:8080/job/Test/build?token=

Use the same username and password you use to login to Jenkins. There was no need to install additional plugins.
