Which Jenkins version are you using? Recent Jenkins versions allowed unauthenticated access to the slave-agent.jnlp URL, which makes starting JNLP slaves a bit more difficult.
I'm pretty sure the slave startup does not use -auth option to provide a username and password. Where did you pick that up? You can use a browser to authenticate and download the slave-agent.jnlp and save file on the slave local disk. Then start the slave and profile a file://localhost/path/to/slave-agent.jnlp as URL on the slave command line. -- Sami Mehdi Hayani Soujaa <hayani.mehdi...@gmail.com> kirjoitti 1.2.2013 kello 11.38: > Hii, > > From the "Jenkins-The Definitive Guide" book we've tried to add the slave > based on the command line strategy.
