- Gain access to the server which hosts the source Federation instance (in case of using a highly available cluster, it is sufficient to do so for a single node of the cluster)
- Navigate to $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/access
- Edit the “access.config.latest.yml” file
- Look for your “outbound” rules under the “federaton” section
- Under federation.outbound.servers you should see the list of synchronization targets, each one is specified using a hyphen (“-”), one such example with a single synchronization target:
6. Remove the synchronization target(s) by deleting the relevant entries (including the hyphen itself, “-”)
7. Save the file, and then rename it to “access.config.import.yml”
8. After saving the changes and renaming the file, perform a restart of Artifactory (the Access Federation source), in case of using a high availability cluster, perform a rolling restart of the cluster.
9. The changes made should then be seen in the Access Federation page in the UI:
* Please be aware that the aforementioned technique only removes synchronization target(s) from a single JPD (JFrog Platform Deployment), if you desire to delete a bi-syncrhoned Federation setup, you must do so from both ends.
