Add Artifactory Licenses

Add licenses according to your license type.

License Key

  • Option 1: Copy the artifactory.cluster.license file to the first node's configuration directory.

    cp artifactory.cluster.license $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/

  • This can also be done once you start Artifactory using:

Specifying multiple licenses

Whether in the Artifactory UI, using the REST API or in the artifactory.cluster.license file, make sure that the licenses are separated by two newlines.

License Bucket

Applying a license bucket requires JFrog Mission Control.

  1. Complete configuring and starting the first node.

  2. Enable Mission Control microservice in Artifactory.

  3. Apply your license Bucket Management in the UIManage Licenses

Artifactory Product Configuration

After installing and before running Artifactory, you may set the following configurations.

  • System YAML Configuration File

    Where to find system.yaml?

    You can configure all your system settings using the system.yaml file located in the $JFROG_HOME /artifactory/var/etc folder. For more information, see Artifactory YAML Configuration.

    If you don't have a System YAML file in your folder, copy the template available in the folder and name it system.yaml.

    For the Helm charts, the system.yaml file is managed in the chart’s values.yaml.

  • Database

    Artifactory comes with an embedded Derby Database out-of-the-box. If you're planning to use it in production, it is highly recommended to first Configure the Database, and then start Artifactory.

  • Customize Java Opts (optional)Remember to modify your JVM Parameters as needed by setting JAVA_OPTIONS in Shared Configurations. The property to pass extra Java opts is artifactory.extraJavaOpts. It is highly recommended to set your Java memory parameters as follows:

    Tip

    The larger your repository or number of concurrent users, the larger you need to make the -Xms and -Xmx values accordingly. If you can reserve at least 512MB for Artifactory, the recommended minimal values are:

    -server -Xms512m -Xmx2g -Xss256k -XX:+UseG1GC

    For more recommendations about your hardware configuration (especially the -Xmx parameter), see System Requirements

  • Additional Settings

    These include: customizing ports, joinKey (join.key), masterKey (master.key).

  • Configuring the Filestore

    By default, Artifactory is configured to use the local file system as its filestore. Artifactory supports a variety of additional filestore configurations to meet a variety of needs for binary storage providers, storage size and redundancy.

Enable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for Connectivity with Older Databases

Artifactory version 7.25.2 onwards includes OpenJDK version 11.0.11 and later. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are disabled by default from OpenJDK 11.0.11 onwards. If your database version does not support TLS 1.2, the Artifactory startup fails.

If you are unable to upgrade your database to a version that supports TLS 1.2 or later, perform the following steps to run Artifactory.

  1. Download the java.security file that has TLS 1.0 and 1.1 enabled.

  2. Create the directory, ${JFROG_HOME}/artifactory/var/bootstrap/artifactory/java.

  3. Copy the java.security file into ${JFROG_HOME}/artifactory/var/bootstrap/artifactory/java.

  4. Provide the appropriate permissions to the directory.

    Note

    Artifactory startup takes a backup of the existing java.security file and bootstraps custom java.security into the ${JFROG_HOME}/artifactory/app/third-party/java/conf/security folder.

Configure Java Security File for Helm Installations

  1. Create the following local directory.

    mkdir -p java/configmap

  2. Download the java.security file that has TLS 1.0 and 1.1 enabled.

  3. Copy the java.security file to java/configmap.

  4. Run the following command to create a custom config map. For more information, see Using Config Maps.

    kubectl create configmap java-security-config --from-file=java/configmap/java.security

  5. Pass the following custom config map to your Helm install. For more information, see Using Config Maps.
