[chef] Jenkins setup cookbook

[Michael Hayes < >]

I've been trying to create a cookbook that sets up Jenkins on an Ubuntu node, 
prefilled with a the github plugin a git repository and a build script.

Well I've gotten as far as getting Jenkins setup with the plugins I need (I 
found that running the script 2-3 times will get the result I need).

Then I went into the Jenkins dashboard to try to create a job 'config.xml' 
that I could use as a template. The problem that I found was that if I run 
Jenkins anonymously, I don't get access to installed Ruby. 

So then the question became: how do I setup basic auth using chef? Is it even 
possible?
