I think "-secret <big-identifier>" has to do with keys. Like how Jenkins creates .jks file.

What to do now? I have no idea why -secret <big-identifier> works or doesn't work depending on windows version - just figured out enough to get things working on our windows slaves :) Glad it worked for you chanda On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 1:20 PM, Steve K <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Chandra, Thank you very much. I've successfully used your method on one of the XP machines that was previously failing. It's important to note that, at first, I kept the "-secret <big-identifier>" but that did not work. After editing the jenkins-slave.xml as you recommended to contain "file:///C:/Jenkins/slave-agent.jnlp<file:///C:\Jenkins\slave-agent.jnlp>", it worked. I am curious. Why does "http://<server>/computer/<node>/slave-agent.jnlp -secret <big-identifier> <http://%3cserver%3e/computer/%3cnode%3e/slave-agent.jnlp%20-secret%20%3cbig-identifier%3e%20> " work on newer versions of Windows, but not on XP? Thank you very much for your solution. I appreciate it greatly. Steve K. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
