Pass credentials to Jenkins slave agent

[Don McNamara]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a Jenkins slave on a Windows server. The Jenkins
master has security enabled.

If I connect with the browser, log in, and then launch the slave
agent, it works fine.

However, when I try to run the slave agent using either of the command
line options, it fails with a 403 permission denied error.

How can I pass the username/password to the slave agent code?

java -jar slave.jar -jnlpUrl http://myserver/computer/jobname/slave-agent.jnlp
[-username ? -password ? ]

Really, what I want to do is run it as a service and the service is
failing. It looks like the service is just attempting and failing to
run the command line above.

Thanks,
Don

Okay, I found the -jnlpCredentials option, but I'm getting an
exception.

I haven't worked with Java in a very long time. Do I need to download
something? Do I need a classpath?

Thanks,
Don
