Hi I am trying to find a simple solution to run a static security scan on binaries stored in JFrog Artifactory. It looks like the veracode integration supports Artifactory 6.7.8 https://community.veracode.com/s/article/Support-Matrix. Has anyone used this plugin with newer versions of Artifactory? If so how did you add the plugin to Artifactory? I'm trying to find a simple way to add the integration.
I was able to do this by using rtUpload and rtDownload jenkins plugins. https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Declarative+Pipeline+Syntax.
Make a repo for the binaries
Write a function for uploading the binaries to artifactory
Write a function for downloading the binaries from artifactroy

For some time, we have published all our artifacts to our own repository, which we host ourselves, using JFrog Artifactory.
We have some open source libraries we want to publish to Maven Central, and have come to the point where can publish every new version to Maven Central as a manual step. Now, we want to automate this, and the two options seems to be to either integrate it into our CI workflow or to sync it from our repository. Synching is the easier solution if we can make it work. Sonatype provide some straight forward instructions for doing so with the Nexus Repository Manager here: https://central.sonatype.org/publish/large-orgs/sync/
However, Nexus does not run on Artifactory, so the question is: How do we sync from Artifactory to Maven Central? (Or is it even possible? A confirmation that this is not possible would also be very valuable.)
The use case is to sync the artifacts in Artifactory to the Maven central and it is not possible from the Artifactory side.
I'm using JFrog Artifactory OSS in a docker container.
I want to download the latest version of an artifact. But it seems that it is not possible in OSS version.
Does anybody know a way to download the latest version of the artifact?
You are right, the Latest Version API endpoint works only in Artifactory Pro.
Working with Maven repositories, you can use the SNAPSHOT support to get Artifactory to return you the latest artifact.
Setting the Maven Snapshot behavior in repo settings to Unique, deploy the artifacts with -SNAPSHOT suffix. Artifactory will assign a unique version to those files internally, but you will always be able to retrieve the latest one using the -SNAPSHOT suffix.
Thanks a lot for your fast answer. I forgot you tell my hole workflow.
I have a jenkins server, building, testing and deploying my stuff.
I want build a spring boot jar file with maven and deploy it to my repository(i use jfrog). This works perfect. In a next step i will create a docker image containing this jar file. So the in the image file ther must be a command to download the execuatbel jar from jfrog. So for this reason i have to know the latest version of the jar file.
I hope you could understand it, this is my first english question.
Thanks a lot for helping me !
Is there a script or any other automated process for migration of artifacts into JFrog? We are currently working on this and need more information to carry out this process. Please help us in achieving this. Thanks in advance.
If you have an existing artifact repository, JFrog Artifactory supports acting as an artifact proxy while you are in the process of migrating to Artifactory.
I would recommend the following:
Create a local repository in artifactory
Create a remote repository in artifactory which points to your current artifact repository.
Create a virtual repository in artifactory which contains both the local and remote repositories.
Iterate on all your projects to have them publish to the local artifactory repository and pull from the virtual repository.
The advantage to this workflow is that you can port things over piece by piece, rather than trying to do it all at once. If you point a dependency at artifactory that hasn't been ported there yet, artifactory will proxy it for you. When the dependency is ported over, it will be transparent to its users.
When you have moved everything to your local Artifactory repository, then you can remove the remote repository from your virtual repository.
The relevant documentation is available here: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Configuring+Repositories
For an Enterprise account, I'd suppose S3 storage and a significant number of artifacts, so there will be no easy and automated way to do it. It also highly dependent on the storage implementation of choice in the on-prem solution. If you plan to use S3 storage, JFrog can help to perform S3 replication. In other scenarios, the solution will be different. I suggest contacting the support.
How can I copy a specific artifact to another instance of Artifactory?
From what I can see the export/import functionality only works for full system or full single repo copying. I don't want to replicate the full repo either. I just want to copy specific artifacts.
Have you tried using the JFrog CLI? It can be used to download artifacts from Artifactory by giving a specific pattern. So, for example, you can download only the "war" files from a specific repository and then import it / deploy it to the rest of the instances that you want. You can also write a script using the JFrog CLI that will download and then publish those artifacts to the other Artifactory instances using the CLI.
https://www.jfrog.com/getcli/
You can use CLI for Jfrog Artifactory for copying the file with the new name to another repo:
jfrog rt cp "your-artifactory-repo/artifact.extension" your-new-artifactory-repo/artifact.extension
Note: you can use * if you want to copy all the artifacts from the folder.
I'm wondering how other Artifactory Admins do that so here's my question:
We're starting to use Artifactory to manage our artifacts. Internal as well as external artifacts. The external artifacts are all available in an internal repository. This is so because of a conversion from a file based repository to Artifactory.
Now this is starting to cause issues and I'm wondering how others are managing the external dependencies? As an Artifactory Administrator I want to be sure that my developers only use artifacts which have the correct license so I don't want to have a "feel free to download everything from the internet" culture.
I want to provide some sort of a "whitelisted and approved" set of external Artifacts.
Is this possible using Artifactory OSS or do we manually download the artifacts from a remote repository and deploy it to our local repository?
Thank you in advance!
this can be done with writing a user plugin but it will require a PRO version of Artifactory. You can see here examples to a governance control plugin that was written in the past.
With OSS version you can't reject downloads of users based on license.
Hope that answer your question.
