Bug#675233: jenkins: Please secure access to jenkins or provide instructions to do so

[Olivier Berger]

Package: jenkins
Severity: normal

Hi.

By default, AFAICT, Jenkins will be installed running on port 8080, accessible from anywhere, and fully configurable by anyone. I believed this is dangerous, security wise.

Please either provide a default setup which limits its openness for instance allowing only local clients to connect on localhost:8080, or at minimum an important message when it gets installed via APT debconf templates, referring to a README providing instructions on how to configure its security.

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Standard+Security+Setup seems a good start for such instructions, I guess, but I'm no Jenkins guru.

Best regards,
