Jenkins Collector Error due to old credentials - 403 Access Denied

[chenthilan]

I use the below command to start the Jenkins collector. This new property file completely different creds to the old one. But still in the logs i see the old password and user printed. Not sure if it is reading the property file or where it is taking the old credentials from. Those credentials have already expired.

java -jar jenkins.jar --spring.config.name=jenkins --spring.config.location=absolutepath/jenkins_dp5252.properties

Below from the logs,

A small update.. when i did
db.getCollection("configuration").find() , i see the old username and oldpassword

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5cfe7cb0433a2cb20c69bcef"), "_class" : "com.capitalone.dashboard.model.Configuration", "collectorName" : "Hudson", "info" : [ { "url" : "Jenkinsendpoint", "userName" : "oldusername", "password" : "BASE64:oldpassword" } ] }

I suspect this is the issue. But i don't want to make the changes in the DB every time there is a user and password (apikey) update for Jenkins connectivity. How do i enable this to be read from the property file all the time?

Please let me know.
