Hi Team This is my second post idk why my first post with similar problem has been hidden by bot ☹ I am new to jenkins and currently stuck with a problem can any one help me here Here is the background info of my problem: Master node is based on linux which has two agent node Test1 and Test2 On both agent i ran my automation tests on monday this week I updated the jenkins version to the latest one after the update one of my agent machine went offline , when I went into agent machine via remote desktop and run jnlp file agent got connected but the immediately terminated and keep terminated since two days after initially connected. I looked into the logs and following is the log message current version of Open jdk is 1.8.0.312 current jenkins version is 2.318 Okt 26, 2021 9:53:03 AM org.jenkinsci.remoting.engine.JnlpAgentEndpointResolver resolve INFORMATION: Remoting server accepts the following protocols: [JNLP4-connect, Ping] Okt 26, 2021 9:53:03 AM org.jenkinsci.remoting.protocol.impl.BIONetworkLayer$Reader run INFORMATION: Waiting for ProtocolStack to start.

After that its outside my skills sets. My gut says that your agent isn’t running java 8 even though you say your 1.8.0.312 ---

If you’re unlucky the environment in CI is using different PATH settings etc. than in your interactive shell. You might want to have your slave startup script to spit out the java version it sees (in case your using a startup-method allowing this) Also note that in my understanding the recommended JDK version for Jenkins is JDK11 (not 8 any more) (We’re using Adoptium JDK11 ([Adoptium - Open source, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries](https://adoptium.net/?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot)) on RH machines successfully) Good luck Martin ---

Thank you for your reply , as i am new to this stuff i would try do following Update java 8 to java 11 on both master and both agents machine any other to do for me as suggestion or after updating it will start working as expected Thanks and regards ---

Are you running Jenkins inside Tomcat or something? You seem to have a `SecurityManager` configured, which is not supported. More likely about Jenkins was installed, rather than Java version. ---

For all those who gonna search this issue in future i would like to share some inside info which i got during the workaround The issue does not lies within JDK or Master agent Configuration I was initially using Java Web Start launcher to launch jnlp file and then shifted to OpenWebStart which was actually prompting the error. In future if any one get to handle with this error then try to launch the agent via using agent.jar file directly from the cmd or write a powershell script to execute agent.jar via cmd and please do not change jdk versions or anyting on master or on agent Thanks ---
