Hii , I can fix this issue. You might be missing the Token authentication. Look into Jenkins logs to gather more information about the authentication failure. Jenkins logs are usually located in the JENKINS_HOME/logs directory. Check for any error messages or stack traces related to the authentication issue. Ensure that the API token you generated for the Jenkins user has the necessary permissions. The token should have at least the "Job > Build" permission. Double-check that there are no typos or issues with the API token. If you can provide me the other resource I can fix this.
The problem was that I misunderstood - the credentials the plugin uses to authenticate GitLab must not be an API Token of a user but an arbitrary entry in the credentials settings of Jenkins, that the plugin reads and checks against the authentication of GitLab. So I needed to create a new credentials entry in Jenkins and use that for the GitLab authentication and everything works.

The only way I can trigger builds on Jenkins is to disable
/project
endpoint authentication and configure the webhook with the project endpoint (not with/gitlab-webhook/post
).According to the documentation it should work when using a Personal API Token of a Jenkins user that has build permission. This is not the case though, even though a valid API token is provided, Jenkins always returns a 401 error with the following text
