Jenkins and Active Directory integration

In this section, we configure Active Directory, which is already available to integrate with Jenkins so all available users in a specific domain of Active Directory can utilize Jenkins with their own Active Directory credentials based on the given access.

Getting ready

Go to the Jenkins dashboard | Manage Jenkins | Manage Plugins | Available.

Install the Active Directory plugin:

Now you can configure the Active Directory settings in Configure Global Security.

How to do it...

1. Go to the Jenkins dashboard | Manage Jenkins | Configure Global Security | Enable security | Select Active Directory:

2. Select Specify custom Active Directory domain name, click on Add Domain, provide the Domain Name, and save it:

3. If the configuration and access is correct, then we can use all the users in the domain directly in Jenkins.
