Recently I messed up with Jenkins security configuration causing my slave machines to 
no longer connect to the master with the following exception logged:
Failing to obtain http://MY_JENKINS/computer/MY_SLAVE_NAME/slave-agent.jnlp
java.io.IOException: Failed to load http://MY_JENKINS/computer/MY_SLAVE_NAME/
slave-agent.jnlp: 403 Forbidden
 at hudson.remoting.Launcher.parseJnlpArguments(Launcher.java:275)

 at hudson.remoting.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:192)
Waiting 10 seconds before retry
 
Check your security configuration settings in Manage Jenkins->Configure global 
security and verify that for Anonymous user you have allowed to connect to slave.
 
  
 
After about an hour of searching ... found this ... solved my issue ... thank you!!
