title: Jenkins CLI with HTTPS
body: <p>My Jenkins server was switched to now using HTTPS. However, now when trying to run jenkins-cli.jar, I get the following error:</p>

  <p>Is there any way to use Jenkins CLI over HTTPS?</p>
  
  <p>This happens, for example when I try to run even just the help command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -noCertificateCheck -s https://ncs-jenkins.cisco.com:8443/ -i /home/auto/.ssh/id_rsa help
  </code></pre>
