It's no less secure than using the -jnlpCredentials, and JNLP files do not change as you change the slave configuration, so in my mind it is pretty practical workaround, although it does require some extra step. We'll fix this in the next mainline release, and once all the fallout bugs like this are fixed and verified, I'll plan on another LTS release. My apologies for the problems in the mean time. -- Kohsuke Kawaguchi
