Authentication error when using rundeck cli (aka rd) - rundeck

Question

I'm using rundeck-cli rd on my container.
I set
RD_URL=http://localhost:4440/rundeck
RD_USER=myuser
RD_PASSWORD=mypassword
but
when trying to login, I fail to authenticate.
I tested the credentials on the web UI successfully

You can do that "tuning" the Rundeck official image using docker-compose and Dockerfile.
Create a directory and put the docker-compose.yml with the following content:
version: '3'
services:
rundeck:
build:
context: .
args:
IMAGE: ${RUNDECK_IMAGE:-rundeck/rundeck:3.2.6}
ports:
- 4440:4440
links:
- postgres
environment:
RUNDECK_DATABASE_DRIVER: org.postgresql.Driver
RUNDECK_DATABASE_USERNAME: rundeck
RUNDECK_DATABASE_PASSWORD: rundeck
RUNDECK_DATABASE_URL: jdbc:postgresql://postgres/rundeck?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false
postgres:
image: postgres
expose:
- 3306
environment:
- POSTGRES_USER=rundeck
- POSTGRES_PASSWORD=rundeck
volumes:
- dbdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
dbdata:
And put this Dockerfile in the same directory with the following content:
ARG IMAGE
FROM ${IMAGE}
RUN sudo apt-get update \
&& sudo echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/rundeck/rundeck-deb /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list \
&& sudo curl "https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray" > /tmp/bintray.gpg.key \
&& sudo apt-key add - < /tmp/bintray.gpg.key \
&& sudo apt-get -y install apt-transport-https \
&& sudo apt-get -y update \
&& sudo apt-get -y install rundeck-cli
ENV RD_AUTH_PROMPT false
# or your defined host
ENV RD_URL http://localhost:4440
ENV RD_USER admin
ENV RD_PASSWORD admin
To create all environment do: docker-compose up
Enter to your container with: docker exec -it your_rundeck_container bash
And test RD-CLI doing: rd run -j YourJobName -p YourProjectName
You can see the result and execution on GUI.
Here you have a lot of examples to do anything with Rundeck and Docker.
