Please change the JIRA Plugin for Jenkins so that it uses public URLs for the job/build icons that do not require authentication.
Currently the plugin uses the URL of an image inside the Jenkins installation, e.g. http://10.1.1.40/jenkins/images/16x16/blue.png
There are two scenarios where this forms a problem:
- There might be people able to access the JIRA instance, but not the Jenkins instance (might be on a different network that they do not have access to).
- Someone may not be logged in Jenkins while looking at the comment in JIRA. In this case the image will show up as broken, because it results in a redirect to a login page.
By making this change the image of the job in Jenkins should always show up in the JIRA comment, barring any firewall rules.
I think this is not jira-plugin related, but it only depends on the Jenkins URL settings. From the help:
"Optionally specify the HTTP address of the Jenkins installation, such as http://yourhost.yourdomain/jenkins/. This value is used to let Jenkins know how to refer to itself, ie. to display images or to create links in emails."
I don't see jira-plugin itself rendering the icons by itself anywhere...
