无法在Windows机器上安装Jenkins Slave

Question

I am a very newbie to Jenkins ,

I am trying to Lunch a slave via Java Web Start, and when i try to install the Jenkins slave knowing that the master address is as follow http://masterdomain.com i see that the slave tries to connect to http://masterdomain.com:54999 , any ideas why this happens

Answer 1

Jenkins uses a special port for connections between the slave and the master. By default the port number is variable, but if you have a firewall between the master and the slave you can fix the port number via the URL <your Jenkins master URL>/configureSecurity/

Answer 2

Hey to answer your question from the comments above, the MASTER URL for jenkins is configured in the Manage Jenkins --> Configure System --> Jenkins Location

The Java Web start tries to get the URL from this location setting and uses it to setup the JNLP Agent on the slave.

Hope this helps.
