In some cases a password can be rotated/changed in your Artifactory instance suddenly.
This article will describe how to reset the username/password for remote repositories all at once in Artifactory Edge instance.
Solution 1
When Artifactory Edge is up and running, to update the username and password for all remote repos, we can use the api/system/configuration REST API
1. To get a current config, we can run curl -u admin localhost:8082/artifactory/api/system/configuration > config.xml
2. Replace the old username/password with the new username/password using your favorite Editing tool vi config.xml
:%s/old_password/new_password/g
3. To update new config with new user/password, we can run curl -u admin localhost:8082/artifactory/api/system/configuration -XPOST -T config.xml
Solution 2
When Artifactory Edge is not running, we can copy the artifactory.config.latest.xml to artifactory.config.import.xml
and replace old user/password with new user/password in artifactory.config.import.xml
and restart the Artifactory Edge.
