[3] This is the method that is used for connecting slaves hosted in LF Lab. Connecting slaves using direct SSH access can become a challenge given that OPNFV Project has number of different labs provided by community as mentioned in previous section. All these labs have different security requirements which can increase the effort and the time needed for connecting slaves to Jenkins. In order to reduce the effort and the time needed for connecting slaves and streamline the process, it has been decided to connect slaves using `Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/deploymentInDepth/jnlp.html>`_. -4.1 Connecting Slaves from LF Lab to OPNFV Jenkins --------------------------------------------------- +Connecting Slaves from LF Lab to OPNFV Jenkins +---------------------------------------------- Slaves hosted in LF Lab are handled by LF.
