I have Jenkins 1.6 running on CentOS 7.2. I have Windows 2012 servers that I want to receive builds from the Jenkins server. These Windows servers are not on a domain. They have OpenSSH installed on them. On the Jenkins server, I manually created this path (from the Linux console): /home/jenkins/.ssh/
I gave the .ssh folder fully open privileges. I then ran a Jenkins job to happen solely on the Linux server itself. It was an Execute Shell job with these commands: cd /tmp/ ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f great.key mv great.key.pub /home/jenkins/.ssh/ mv great.key /home/jenkins/.ssh # The commands should generate an SSH key pair for the Jenkins user. I do not know how to log into the Linux server with the Jenkins user. So I came up with the above. I then manually made the permissions of the .ssh directory to be 600. I copied the contents of the .pub file into the authorized_keys file on the Windows server, specifically the file in C:\Users\jenkins\.ssh\ Both the authorized_keys file and .ssh folder on the Windows server have security permissions wherein only the administrators group has full control of the file and and folder respectively. Then I ran a Jenkins build that was an Execute Shell script. Here are the three lines: ssh -t -t jenkins@x.x.x.x echo "something" > foo.txt exit I get this in the console output: ... Permission denied, please try again. ... Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure ... How do I get Jenkins running on Linux to communicate with Windows servers? I would rather not install Cygwin on the Linux servers. To be sure, when a Windows server receives a build from Jenkins, is it a managed node or a slave node? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
