Artifactory users frequently ask how REST API tools can be used, as all package managers, such as Maven, cannot log in through SAML SSO. There are two ways of getting around this problem:
An API key or an access token can be used as a password. As long as the users know their SAML username, they can access Artifactory via CLI tools by passing the API key or access token.
- Allow users to generate API keys via the Allow Created Users Access to Profile Page
- Implement a system that creates access tokens for users
