Jenkins plugins fail with error 401

[Hraesvelg]

hi,

i try to define some plugin to install with this ansible role :

jenkins_plugins:
  - "folder-properties"
  - "echarts-api"
  - ...

but result is always the same, I tested some fix found in other topic without success

solved ! don't use complex password.. or think to escape special if possible...

Hello @Hraesvelg
I have the same issue.
I'm not sure to understand the resolution. What is the password used for ?
I don't think it's a login/password for downloading the plugins ?
It's not the password of my user when connecting in Jenkins ?
Oh may be it's the admin default password ?

Thanks for your answer.

Hello @CedricLevasseur ,

in my case it was the password behind jenkins_admin_password

and i didn't find rules to define password but like postgres, not optimal for security reason but classical letter and digit do the job...
