Exposing Jenkins UI
By default, you cannot access the Jenkins UI outside the cluster. To access the Jenkins UI, you can use an Ingress. TKE provides CLB-type Ingress and Nginx-type Ingress for your choice.
Note
Jenkins v2.263 is used in the following sample. The UI of Jenkins varies with the product version. You can select a version based on your business needs.
Logging in to Jenkins
On the Jenkins UI, enter the initial username and password to log in to the Jenkins backend. The username is admin, and the password can be obtained by running the following command.
kubectl -n devops get secret jenkins -o jsonpath='{.data.jenkins-admin-password}'| base64 -d
Note
When running the above command, specify your actual namespace.

1. Log in to the Jenkins backend and choose Dashboard > Manage Jenkins > Security > Configure Global Security to go to the authentication and authorization policy page as shown below:
Security Realm: Select Jenkins' own user database.
Authorization: Select Logged-in users can do anything.
2. Choose Dashboard > Manage Jenkins > Security > Manage Users > Create User and create a user as prompted as shown below:
Username: Enter the username.
Password: Enter the password.
Confirm password: Confirm the password.
Full name: Enter the full username.
3. Click Create User.
