Using Jenkins ver. 1.585 on Ubuntu 12.04
After installing Jenkins, I then proceeded to enable access control for security.
First, I set the jenkins user password:
sudo passwd jenkins
.. and added the jenkins user to the shadow group:
sudo usermod -G shadow jenkins
.. and restarted jenkins:
sudo service jenkins restart
Then I set the Jenkins security:
Manage Jenkins >> Configure global security
Then checked "Enable security", then selected "Unix user/group database" for the Security Realm and selected "Matrix-based security" for Authorization, and added the "jenkins" user.
After clicking save, Chrome showed a login dialog that you typically get with http auth. Using the jenkins user and password I was unable to login. Clearing my browser cache and cookies didn't change anything.
When using Firefox, I did not get the login dialog, instead I got the jenkins log in form, and was able to successfully log in using the jenkins user.
Why can't I log in using Chrome? Why is it showing me this login dialog?
