Add a server and follow the prompts:

jf config add <server-id>

jf config add <server-id> --url=<your-server-url> --access-token=<your-token> --interactive=false

jf config add <server-id> --url=<your-server-url> --user=<username> --password=<password> --interactive=false

Server ID restrictions: The server ID cannot be delete, use, show, or clear — these are reserved words. Use descriptive names like my-server, prod-artifactory, or ci-server.
Encryption: If JFROG_CLI_ENCRYPTION_KEY is set when you add a configuration, the credentials are encrypted. You must set the same key in every session that uses this configuration. If you lose the key, remove the config and re-add it.
Token refresh: By default, the CLI exchanges username/password for an access token and refreshes it automatically. Use --basic-auth-only to disable this behavior if needed for external tool compatibility. Use --disable-token-refresh to prevent automatic token refresh.
Overwriting: If a server with the same ID already exists, the command fails unless you pass --overwrite.
Password from stdin: For CI/CD security, use --password-stdin or --access-token-stdin to pipe credentials instead of passing them as command-line arguments (which may appear in process listings).
