Thanks Matthew, I'm a complete newbie with jenkins, I only started at this workplace a week ago and this update landed! Going through my log I certainly had the 403 errors and ticked various anonymous access rights to get it to connect again. I've just got it working after I noticed that it had moved onto a 401 error which prompted me to get the jnlp credentials(which look much like an api key) for our jenkins linux slave user account, I reapplied it as the password in the jenkins master and its now connecting, even with all the anonymous privileges revoked.
Cheers.
