We have a large number of Jenkins and use "Python Jenkins" to make administering them easier . . .
It was all great . . . it was all working . . . then . . . IT forced me to change the service account password. Now with the SAME ACCOUNT (but of course a new password) those same scripts don't work. They work with another user's username/password, but they don't work with the service account's username and new password. There are only two odd things about the new password: 1. It is 16 characters which is a little longer than most 2. It has two "!" characters in it (I have in the pass used passwords with one "!") Are there any know issues or limitations on what password Jenkins can accept via the HTTP authentication? The ONLY variable here is the new password . . . I am at a lost. And because of all the windows services and all the jobs and all the places the password has to be updated . . . the system is down for almost two days any time I change the service account password . . . so moving to a new password is not something I want to attempt . . . unless for sure and for real . . . that is the issue. Comments or suggestions welcomed . . . Frank
