What is the location for the Jenkins System Console Output files? I am configuring Jenkins Security on Ubuntu, and have been locked out at the login screen. Tried every account I can remember but not knowing what is the issue with the id/pwd this feels like the definition of insanity…
Failed Login Message:
If you are a system administrator and suspect this to be a
configuration problem, see the server console output for more details.

The relevant log files can be found at ...
But I think you probably want to just completely disable security to find out the login and maybe reset the password. In ...
set
useSecurity
tofalse
and you should be able to use Jenkins again and redo whatever got messed up and reset your account. You need to restart the server withsudo service jenkins restart
too.edit:
Have a look first at
/var/lib/jenkins/users
. The users there are a directory so it should be easier to find your user account. Inside is aconfig.xml
that holds an encrypted password for that user.edit 2: found an article on resetting password.
