I want to connect a slave to Master-Jenkins, but when trying to connect i'm getting following Error:

Configuration for Node: - Start-Method: Start Slave over SSH - Hostname: is the IP - Access Data: user i created for SSH Access - > public key is in authorized keys on Slave Node

If i am on my Master as user "jenkins" and do a ssh jenkins@<IP> i can login wihtout problems (public key is on slave).

Why it doesn't work for "UI-Jenkins".

Jenkins-Version: 1.658

Node: Ubuntu 14.04

SSH-Slave Plugin: 1.26

That "solved" the issue:

"Workaround is by commenting out MACs and KexAlgorithm line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config of Jenkins Slave and restarting the sshd (service ssh restart on Ubuntu)

UPDATE: the issue has been resolved as of 2017-04-29 "

Jenkins master fails to connect to the slave over SSH

Execute this command on destination node.

sudo -i su -c 'sed -i -e "s/MACs /MACs hmac-sha1,/g" /etc/ssh/sshd_config; service sshd restart'

Thought I'd throw my experience in this thread: my environment had a Windows master and mixed Windows and Linux agents. One Windows agent refused to connect to master, even after Master pushed 'jenkins-agent' and the other supporting files to the agent.

This agent had 6 different versions of the JDK and JRE installed. I uninstalled all of them, reinstalled only the latest JDK we needed, and set JAVA_HOME. This fixed the connectivity issue.
