(Updated as of 8 May 2018)
This is about an issue experienced during the connection phase when deploying EAR to WebSphere Application Server in Jenkins using the "WebSphere Deployer Plugin".
System information:
[Jenkins]
Jenkins version: 2.107.2
java.runtime.version (as seen from Jenkins Admin UI): 1.8.0_144-b01
[Jenkins - WebSphere Deployer Plugin]
Version: 1.6.1
Copied the relevant JAR files (from C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\runtimes and C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\plugins) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\plugins\websphere-deployer\WEB-INF\lib.
Cell/Node/Server info is specified in the plugin configuration (same as what is shown in "Show Available Targets").
[IBM WebSphere Application Server]
WAS version: 9.0.0.7
Java version: 1.8.0_151
Administrative security: Enabled
Application security: Disabled
SOAP connection port: 8880 (checked to be not being blocked by firewall)
Telnet to port 8880 is successful
Command line login to wsadmin via port 8880 is successful
The "Test Connection" is successful. Unfortunately, in the actual job run the deploy phase still fails at connection.
The relevant log information is as follows
