Additional Settings for Generic Remote Repositories

In addition to the basic settings and advanced settings that are common for all remote repositories, the following settings are available when configuring Generic repositories.

Additional Basic Settings

Field	Description
List Remote Artifacts	When set, Artifactory lets you navigate the contents of the repository at the remote registry, even if the artifacts have not been cached in this repository. By default, this option is not set.

Additional Advanced Settings

Field	Description
Propagate Query Params	When set, any query parameters included in the request to Artifactory are passed on to the remote repository.
Retrieve SHA256 from Remote Server	When set, Artifactory retrieves the SHA256 from the remote server if it is not cached in the remote repository. The Retrieve SHA256 from Remote Server option allows you to download the SHA256 checksum for an artifact before it is cached in Artifactory. This is particularly useful for tools that try to fetch the SHA256 before downloading the package, which can result in a 404 error. By enabling this feature, you ensure that Artifactory retrieves the checksum first, generates it upon file download, and serves it as normal.

Retrieve SHA256 from Remote Server

When set, Artifactory retrieves the SHA256 from the remote server if it is not cached in the remote repository.

The Retrieve SHA256 from Remote Server option allows you to download the SHA256 checksum for an artifact before it is cached in Artifactory. This is particularly useful for tools that try to fetch the SHA256 before downloading the package, which can result in a 404 error.
