I am trying to add a RHEL7 slave in my existing configuration that is using a Windows master. I am trying to use "Launch slave agents via SSH." I am getting the following error when I tried to configure the slave:

I verified that I can SSH successfully from the master to the intended host using a private key. I also tried just a standard username/password with the same result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
