There are numerous 3rd-party sites and applications which Jenkins can interact with, for example, Git repositories, Docker registry, cloud storage services, and so on. A Jenkins administrator can configure credentials/secrets for dedicated use by Jenkins to communicate with external applications. Once a Jenkins administrator configures the credentials in Jenkins, they can be used by CI/CD pipelines to interact with these 3rd party applications.

In the next section, I will share how Jenkins administrator can make use of Script Console to retrieve the credentials stored in Jenkins. Jenkins administrator can execute the following script in Jenkins Script Console to list out credential values stored in the Jenkins instance.
