Released As:Jenkins 2.145
As a Jenkins CLI user I would like to have the ability to invoke Jenkins CLI commands in an easier way by preconfiguring the -auth option.
In a similar way that the environment variable JENKINS_URL allows to execute different CLI command without specifying the -s option continuously, environment variable such JENKINS_USER_ID and JENKINS_API_TOKEN might help configuring easily the executions without specifying the -auth option in each executed command.
Idea
Before
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s https://jenkins.mycompany.com/ -auth my-user:1234567890abcdef my-command
After
export JENKINS_URL=https://jenkins.mycompany.com/
export JENKINS_USER_ID=my-user
export JENKINS_API_TOKEN=1234567890abcdef
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar my-command
In case the -auth option is specified, its value will prevail, although the env vars will not be unset for later use.
