Released: 23 March, 2020
Artifactory 7.3 is Available as a Cloud Version
The Artifactory 7.3 release is available only as a Cloud version. Artifactory 7.3.2 applies to on-prem and contains all the resolved issues in Artifactory 7.3.0 and 7.3.1.
Highlights
PAT (Personal Access Token) Support for Remote Repository Authentication
In addition to the basic authentication, with username and password, Artifactory now supports remote repository authentication using Personal Access Tokens (PAT). The big advantage of using PATs is that you can strengthen your Artifactory security practices by using Access Tokens for authentication instead of using your primary credentials. For example, you can configure your remote Docker repository to point to GitHub and authenticate it by using a PAT. You can use PATs for any package type. For more information, see Remote Credentials.
LDAP Improvements
Artifactory now supports a new type of Active Directory "Nested Groups" search, enabling performance improvements when working with LDAP. This feature requires that Active Directory runs on Windows Server 2012 R2 version or later. There are no additional requirements for the Active Directory Windows Server side. For more information, see Support for Nested Groups.
Write-disabled Mode Supported for Shard Storage Requests
To enhance storage sharding, Artifactory now supports disabling write-requests to shards.
This is useful, for example, when migrating data from a shard that must be replaced. First, the feature is used to write-disable the shard and then the data is migrated to a new shard.
In addition, the feature still allows garbage collection to continue to clean the deleted binaries from the write-disabled shard.
To set the write-disable mode on a shard in Artifactory, see the Configuring State-AwareBinary Provider section.
Support for Matrix-params with Conan Repositories
Artifactory now supports matrix parameters for Conan repositories. As a result, the Build Info for Conan packages uploaded to Artifactory SaaS is now available.
Feature Enhancements
Restricting System and Repository Imports
Artifactory allows admin users to import and export data at both the system level and the repository level. For more information, see Import and Export.
Sometimes, however, it is advantageous to restrict imports to avoid causing undesirable results. With this new feature, the system and repository import options can be disabled, thereby preventing specific admin users in the enterprise from performing imports. For example, you can stop an admin from overriding the Release Bundles distributed to an Artifactory Edge, by preventing them from importing the initial Artifactory state.
