Resolved Issues

JIRA Issue

Description

RTFACT-27111

Fixed a Cargo package-related issue, whereby a remote Cargo repository could not be created without providing the gitRegistryUrl which prevented Artifactory from starting.

RTFACT-27157

Fixed a PyPI-related issue whereby, remote PyPI artifacts yanked from the registry would not be processed by Artifactory if there were no yanked details in the remote repository.

RTFACT-27048

Fixed an issue whereby, submitting repository-related REST API requests without a repository key returned a 500 error instead of a 400 status error.

RTFACT-27151

Fixed an issue whereby, Crowd users were unable to download artifacts via the URL-to-File requests.

RTFACT-27253

Fixed an issue whereby, running the Get LDAP Groups Rest API returned forceAttributeSearch as false even if it was set as true in the config.xml file.

RTFACT-26347

Fixed an issue whereby, when running NuGet-related REST APIs, the NuGet HTTP status code returned a 403 status message instead of a 409 status message for users with write and not overwrite access while trying to upload an already-existing package.

RTDEV-27108

Fixed an issue whereby, the contents of a virtual repository could not be listed when there is a broken remote repository.

JA-3354

Fixed an issue whereby users with the "Manage Resources" permission granted users access to Admin Settings page.

RTDEV-26949

Fixed a Cargo package-related issue, whereby the Cargo search could not find the carte if the carte name contained more than one hyphen. For example, openid-connect-mock.

RTDEV-26892

Fixed an issue whereby, Helm virtual repositories that were set as the target of a Smart remote repository, downloaded new artifacts even if the artifactoryRequestCanRetreiveRemoteArtifacts flag was disabled (Default setting).

Change to Parameter Usage for Existing Smart Helm Repositories Users

As part of the bug fix, the flag is still set to false, however, the behavior has changed. With the new change, setting this flag to false causes helm virtual repositories not to retrieve remote artifacts from the virtual repositories, if the download request came from a Smart repository.

For existing customers, in order not to fail downloads from your Smart Helm repositories, we have changed the feature flag value to true in the existing helm virtual repositories. Please disable the flag if your intent was to prevent new artifacts from being downloaded from the virtual repository.Please note that from version 7.41.2, the default value is still set as 'false', so take this into consideration when creating your new virtual repositories.

RTDEV-6431

Fixed an issue whereby, running the Create Repository REST API to create a virtual repository with multiple local repositories with the same name, displayed the local repositories many times in the WebUI.Create Repository

RTDEV-2785

Fixed an issue related to NPM packages whereby, a 404 error message was generated when running NPM Install if the package.json located under the local repo contained an extra slash.

RTDEV-24786

Fixed an issue whereby, under certain circumstances, running a Docker Pull generated an "Unknown Blob" error if the remote cache was deleted and the client had a partial cache.

RTDEV-26679

Fixed an issue whereby, when using ECDSA keys for SSH Authentication in Artifactory, the keys stopped to function if Artifactory was rebooted.
