Connected via JNLP agent message and unable to launch jnlp
Windows 2008 & 2012 are a nightmare when you want to configure a JNLP slave.
The old solution (click on JNLP link and install as a service) doesn't work anymore...
I found a nice workaround here:https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Launch+Java+Web+Start+slave+agent+via+Windows+Scheduler
In a few words, the idea is to:
- Create a JNLP slave with Jenkins
- Copy the JNLP URL (java -jar slave.jar -jnlpUrl ...)
- Create a C:\Jenkins folder (on your Windows slave)
- Download the slave.jar file in this folder (http://YOUR_JENKINS_URL/jnlpJars/slave.jar)
- Create a task (with the Windows Task Scheduler) to call this URL (following the procedure and my first link)
I did a quick test on a Windows 2012 server and it works :)
If you are getting a certificate error, you can add this option:
java -jar slave.jar -noCertificateCheck -jnlpUrl ...
