I configured a hudson instance and have created jobs. While creating builds, I was able to see this option "Trigger the build by accessing this URL + SecretTOKEN" option. Now, I am unable to see that for any new jobs I create. Am I missing some setting or a configuration? The only change I made was running the servlet container from Root to a regular user.

What version of Hudson are you running? Have you upgraded the install since you first created the jobs? – Michael Donohue Mar 18 '10 at 14:04

In my Hudson (1.349) when creating a new job, there's an option under Build Triggers called Trigger Builds Remotely (e.g. from scripts), which when selected allows you to enter an Authentication Token (which has the descriptive text from your question).
I'm not aware of any system configuration that disables this. It doesn't sound like a Hudson user permissions problem if you can have permissions to create/edit jobs.
What appears under Build Triggers when you create a new job?

It was not a problem with Hudson. Since I was running hudson as a different user, it wasn't able to get to its configurations. Hence, authentication wasn't working and those options were not being displayed. Fixed it now. – Ritesh M Nayak Mar 20 '10 at 10:31

I had the same problem with the missing Trigger Builds Remotely option. The fix in my case was to enable security in the main Hudson configuration (with Anyone can do anything selected)

How do I add the Trigger Builds Remotely check box to the job configuration? It is missing now. I am using Hudson 3.3.3. – user1492667 Jan 03 '18 at 06:02
