Note
From version 6.1.0, Berkshelf supports authenticated access to Artifactory using an API Key. Previous versions of Berkshelf only supported Anonymous access to Artifactory.
Berkshelf is a dependency manager for Chef Cookbooks, and is a part of the ChefDK.
To resolve dependencies from a Chef supermarket in Artifactory, first configure your Artifactory API Key using config.rb:
Setting the Artifactory API key for use by Berkshelf
artifactory_api_key "<APIKEY>"
Then set the default supermarket in your Berksfile's Cookbook:
Setting the default Chef supermarket for Berkshelf
source artifactory: 'http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/chef/chef-virtual'
Then you can execute the berks command to download the required dependencies from Artifactory:
