how to reload scm configuration programmatically

[PeterLappo]

I'm writing an Ansible script that installs Jenkins and loads SCM config from git. I've got most of it working but can't figure out how to invoke http://:/plugin/scm-sync-configuration/reloadAllFilesFromScm from a curl script to force Jenkins to use the config from git.
A curl scripts seems to be the obvious way to do it but can't get it to work.
Any ideas?

I managed to do it:

Using ansible:

• name: Autoload scm configure
  become: true
  become_user: jenkins
  shell: "curl http://localhost:8080/plugin/scm-sync-configuration/reloadAllFilesFromScm -u admin:{{ initialpassword.stdout }}"
  notify: restart jenkins

• name: Autoload scm configure
  become: true
  become_user: jenkins
  shell: "curl http://localhost:8080/reload -u admin:{{ initialpassword.stdout }}"
  notify: restart jenkins

Bash:
curl http://ip-address:8080/plugin/scm-sync-configuration/reloadAllFilesFromScm -u admin:password
curl http://ip-address:8080/reload -u admin:password

@PeterLappo How did you manage to set the plugin configuration with Ansible? Can you provide the complete tasks list?

@xussof To reload Jenkins a POST is needed:

curl -X POST http://ip-address:8080/reload -u admin:password

This worked for me.
