      github-oauth plugin 0.20

      I'm using the github-oauth plugin for authentication and the Github Commiter Authorization Strategy and I'm unable to use the jenkins-cli with it. Running this command: 

      java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 who-am-i --username <username> --password <jenkins-api-token>

      results in an error:

      "--username" is not a valid option
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar who-am-i
Reports your credential and permissions.

      I've also tried ssh key auth with the -i flag but get a similar error about -i being an invalid option.

      Is there another way to use jenkins-cli with github auth?

          This seems to be the case when using the google-login-plugin as well, not just limited to the github plugin.

          I have a similar issue with --username but -i is working for me with 1.606.

          Jenkins CLI no longer uses --username and --password options. It now only using SSH key authentication. Additionally, github oauth plugin 0.21 now supports using personal access tokens instead of a password for interacting with the Jenkins API. I'm going to close this as resolved.

          Unfortunately this droves me crazy:

          java -jar ~/tmp/jenkins-cli.jar -noKeyAuth help login 

ERROR: You must authenticate to access this Jenkins.
Use --username/--password/--password-file parameters or login command.

          And than

          java -jar ~/tmp/jenkins-cli.jar -noKeyAuth login --username foobar

ERROR: "--username" is not a valid option
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar login
Saves the current credential to allow future commands to run without explicit credential information.


java -jar ~/tmp/jenkins-cli.jar -noKeyAuth login foobar

ERROR: No argument is allowed: foobar
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar login
Saves the current credential to allow future commands to run without explicit credential information.

          So it is awefully misleading and one gets stuck because there is no way to find out, how to get it work.
