Authenticate users in Hudson

Enable security on your Hudson site to authenticate users against a CollabNet TeamForge server and specify whether you want single sign-on with TeamForge.

Note: In the default configuration, Hudson does not perform any security check. When you turn on authentication, usernames and paswwords are determined against a CollabNet site. To specify what users can do in Hudson, you need to turn on authorization which is a separate action.
  1. In your Hudson installation, go to Manage Hudson > Configure System.
  2. Select Enable Security.
  3. In the Access Control section, select CollabNet Security Realm to authenticate usernames and passwords.
  4. Enter the URL for your TeamForge site. For example, https://forge.collab.net.
  5. To allow a user logged into TeamForge to sign into Hudson, select Accept Single Sign-On token from TeamForge.
    Note: The TeamForge site must have single sign-on with Hudson enabled.
  6. To allow a user logging into Hudson to automatically sign into TeamForge, select Authenticate to TeamForge when signing on to Hudson.
  7. Click Save.
