In the previous chapters, we have looked at the various build triggers that are available to us. We even added the GitLab trigger with the GitLab plugin. There is one trigger we have not tried yet, which is the remote trigger. So, create a new project; I am simply naming it Remote Test, and check the Trigger builds remotely (for example, from scripts) trigger. You are now presented with an authentication token. This is your secret token that allows anyone who has it to remotely trigger the build. So, you best pick something that is not easy to guess (something like 47d6753c6f307c13edf010a2730f03a6). However, for our test, we are going to pick something that is a bit more readable and easy to type, so just put my_token in the field.
Normally, you can browse to a URL to trigger a regular build, for example, http://ciserver:8080/job/Remote%20Test/build...
