This method can be used even if you already have a join key.
Save the generated string file as join.key.
Delete the existing join.key from
$JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/security/.Place each file in the
$JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/bootstrap/access/etc/securitydirectory.Add the Artifactory permissions to the directories and the join.key file. For example,
chown -R artifactory:artifactory access/etc/security/join.key
Start the service.
