Copy the plugin binary into a location of your choice; this directory must be specified as the plugin_directory in the Vault configuration file:
plugin_directory= "path/to/plugin/directory"
Start a Vault server with this configuration file:
vault server -config=path/to/vault/config.hcl
Once the server is started, register the plugin in the Vault server's plugin catalog.
vault write sys/plugins/catalog/secret/artifactory \
sha_256="$(sha256sum path/to/plugin/directory/artifactory | cut -d "" -f 1)" \
command="artifactory"Note
You may need to also add arguments to the registration like -args="-ca-cert ca.pem or something insecure like: -args="-tls-skip-verify" depending on your environment. (see ./path/to/plugins/artifactory -help for all the options)
