Admins of any Federated members can remove themselves and other members from the Federation. Note that you can remove the initial repository and the Federation will continue to function between the remaining Federated members.
From the Administration module, click Repositories > Repositories and click the Federated tab to view a list of Federations.
Select the Federation repository from the list and click the Federation tab.
Click the x located on the top right of the repository to be removed.
Click Save.
Federation Member Removal – Legacy Service vs. Artifactory Federation Service
There is an important difference in the behavior of the Artifactory Federation Service and the legacy Federation service when you try to remove a member when a different member of the same Federation is offline (for example, due to network connectivity issues or if the remote JPD is down):
Legacy service: If member A tries to delete member B, the system allows the removal even though member C is offline. However, when member C comes back online, it will not be aware of the removal of member B. This requires you to make manual changes on the target JPD to bring member C back in sync with the rest of the Federation.
Artifactory Federation Service (RTFS): You cannot remove a member from the Federation if any other members are offline. Instead, you must first remove the offline members, as shown above.
