Configure Proxy for Federation
Route outbound Federation traffic in JFrog Artifactory through a proxy, or bypass it entirely.
Configure a proxy for outbound Federation traffic when direct connectivity between members is unavailable or restricted.
Who can perform this task: Platform Administrators
Prerequisites:
- A system proxy is configured in Artifactory
- You have edit access to the target Federated repository
This topic covers the following tasks:
Configure Proxy on a Federated Repository
Route outbound Federation traffic for a specific Federated repository through a configured proxy.
To configure a proxy on a Federated repository:
- In the Administration module, click Repositories.
- Click the Federated tab and open the repository.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- In Proxy, select the proxy to use.
- Ensure No Proxy is unchecked.
- Click Save.
You can also change these settings from the Edit a Federated Repository workflow.
Disable Proxy for a Federated Repository
Bypass proxies and connect directly between Federation members for a specific Federated repository.
To disable the proxy for a Federated repository:
- Open the repository Advanced tab.
- Check No Proxy.
- Click Save.
If direct connectivity still fails after disabling the proxy, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Default Proxy Behavior
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| No proxy selected, No Proxy unchecked | Uses system default proxy (if configured) |
| Specific proxy selected | Uses selected proxy |
| No Proxy checked | Connects directly and bypasses proxies |
Frequently Asked Questions
This section provides answers to frequently asked questions.
FAQs
Q: What happens if I don't select a specific proxy and leave No Proxy unchecked?
A: The repository uses the system default proxy if one is configured in Artifactory. See Default Proxy Behavior.
Q: Do I need a system proxy configured before I can select one for Federation?
A: Yes. A system proxy must already be configured in Artifactory before you can select it for a specific Federated repository.
Q: Can Federation members bypass proxies entirely?
A: Yes. Check No Proxy on the repository's Advanced tab to connect directly between Federation members without routing through any proxy.
