Overview

The GitHub OAuth plugin provides a means of securing a Jenkins instance by offloading authentication and authorization to GitHub. The plugin authenticates by using a GitHub OAuth Application. It can use multiple authorization strategies for authorizing users. GitHub users are surfaced as Jenkins users for authorization. GitHub organizations and teams are surfaced as Jenkins groups for authorization. This plugin supports GitHub Enterprise.

More comprehensive documentation is listed on the wiki page.

Troubleshooting Installation

After installing per the wiki, the <securityRealm> class should have been updated in your /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml file. The value of <clientID> should agree with what you pasted into the admin UI. If it doesn't or you still can't log in, reset to <securityRealm class="hudson.security.HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm"> and restart Jenkins from the command-line.
