[jbosstools-dev] Jenkins pages take forever to load over https? Here's a solution!

Having recently moved to Fedora 24, I forgot to set up kerberos when setting up my new machine. So, as a result, I've been seeing https pages from jenkins.mw taking as long as 2 mins to load fully. The solution? a) ensure kerberos is installed and properly set up [1] b) ensure kerberos ticket is enabled (kinit) [2] c) ensure chrome is USING the ticket [3] d) ensure chrome is configured to cache images/scripts/css files (so page loads are faster) [1] https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-1017803 [2] https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-1011190 [3] https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-configure-Google-Chrome-to-use-Kerberos I can now load the above https pages in mere seconds (under 20 for long /configure pages, under 10 for simpler ones) where before it was between 90-120 seconds! --- Something you might want to do is to have kinit run every time you start vpnc. Here are the aliases I use for starting/stopping vpnc: alias resolvconf8888='sudo ~/bin/resolvconf8888.sh' # see [4] alias V='sudo vpnc-disconnect; sleep 2s; kinit -r 7d && klist -f; sudo vpnc; resolvconf8888' alias VV='sudo vpnc-disconnect; resolvconf8888' [4] https://gist.github.com/nickboldt/7390a20ad5027a598d65ff44dcd5def5 -- Nick Boldt :: JBoss by Red Hat Productization Lead :: JBoss Tools & Dev Studio http://nick.divbyzero.com
