The following are the limitations of npm in Artifactory:

  • Authentication with transient users: If an Admin creates an access token with a transient user, npm login will fail as the user is not registered in Artifactory.

  • Legacy _auth property: Using the _auth property for basic authentication is not supported by npm version 9 and newer. For npm version 9 and newer, authenticate using npm login or an _authToken.
