What Is a Config Token?

A Config Token is a base64-encoded string produced by jf config export. It contains the server URL, authentication credentials, and other settings in a portable format. You can share it across machines or team members to quickly replicate a server configuration.

Important Notes

• Security: Config Tokens contain sensitive credentials (access tokens or passwords). Treat them like passwords — do not log them, commit them to source control, or share them over unencrypted channels.
• One-time import: The token does not expire, but credentials inside it might. If the access token in the Config Token has expired, the imported configuration will not work — you'll need to update it with jf config edit or re-add with jf config add.
• Encryption: If the source configuration was encrypted with JFROG_CLI_ENCRYPTION_KEY, the Config Token contains the encrypted values. The importing machine does not need the encryption key to import, but it will store the configuration in its own encryption context.
