When using an external authentication method such as LDAP and SAML, starting from Artifactrory version 7.104.0, basic authentication will be disabled by default. This means that Basic authentication is disabled for both UI and REST API, and that all forms of automations, scripts, and plugins using basic authentication are also disabled.
We recommend to leave basic authentication disabled, in order to avoid double authentication with a less secure password-based method. However, if you need to continue using it, you can continue using it using the following method:
Go to Security > General and find the Basic Authentication section
Deselect the Disable Basic Authentication for JFrog Platform Internal Users checkbox

Configure an external authentication method
Create a user group needs for the external users, and provide the users with Admin permissions
Disable the basic authentication method, after you create the group
