We're are using a custom implementation of AuthenticationRealm for Winstone to be able to reuse the same login credentials for all our tools like SVN, trac, apache, and of course Jenkins. This implementation relies on a custom option being set as part of the JENKINS_ARGS to find the apache-style credentials file.

Due to the strict parsing of options introduced in 1.449 our custom implementation is broken unless there is either another way to provide custom options in a similar fashion or the strict parsing of options can be switched off.

I think this problem is related to JENKINS-12521
