Applying Configuration Changes
Once you have configured your YAML file to include all the configuration changes needed, you can apply them by following the steps using the different YAML configuration files described below.
Take care when modifying Access configurations
Modifying the Access configurations is an advanced feature, and if done incorrectly may render Access in an undefined and unusable state. Since it is easy to overwrite configurations, we strongly recommend backing up the configuration YAML file before making any direct changes, and taking great care when doing so.
YAML Configuration Files
There are several configuration files that may found under the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/access folder:
access.config.import.yml | If this file exists, it is the configuration file that the Access services actually imports and overrides all the existing settings when restarted. If the file does not exist, Access will load with its latest configuration settings. |
access.config.patch.yml | If this file exists, the values specified in the imported file will replace the existing Access configuration values. If the file does not exist, Access will load with its latest configuration settings. |
access.config.template.yml | This is a template file provided upon installation. It includes default values for a variety of configuration parameters, as well as simple examples for others. Don't load or modify this file The purpose of this file is to provide a reference to the list of configurable parameters governing Access. Some of the parameters provide recommended default values, however other parameters (such as server names) contain sample values that, if loaded into your Access services, may render them unusable. We strongly recommend not modifying this file, and not uploading it (by changing its name to |
access.config.latest.yml | This file shows which configuration parameters are different from the default values in the current Access configuration. This is the file you should be editing and renaming to access.config.import.yml if you wish to make configuration changes |
access.config.latest.<timestamp>.yml | This file shows previous versions of the access.config.latest.yml file with a timestamp to indicate when it was replaced. |
Uploading the YAML File
To setup your Access configuration files, you need to work with the above YAML files in the following way:
Open the
access.config.template.ymlfileFind the Key for which you would like to change the Value and copy it
Open the
access.config.latest.ymlfilePaste the Key - Value pair you copied and set the relevant value as desired
Save the
access.config.latest.ymlfile asaccess.config.import.ymlor asaccess.config.patch.ymlRestart Access by restarting the corresponding Artifactory service
Note that an uploaded configuration file does not update the current configuration in Access, but rather completely replaces it.
Making multiple configuration calls
You may configure synchronization as often as you want and with any combination of parameters.
Example
To change the setting of number-of-retries from 3 (the default) to 5, you would take the following steps:
- Open the
access.config.template.ymland copy thenumber-of-retries: 3Key-Value pair. - Paste the copied Key-Value pair into the
access.config.latest.ymlfile - In
access.config.latest.yml,change the value ofnumber-of-retriesto5 - Save the modified
access.config.latest.yml as access.config.import.yml - Restart Artifactory - this will restart the Access service which will then load the values in access.config.import.yml with the updated configuration
Reverting to Previous Configurations
Every time you change the Access configuration by loading a new access.config.import.yml file, Access stores the current configuration, before it is replaced, in an access.config.latest.<timestamp>.yml file.
At any time, if you want to revert to a previous configuration:
- Find the
access.config.latest.<timestamp>.ymlfile with the relevant timestamp. - Rename the file to access.config.import.yml
- Restart Artifactory - this will restart the Access service which will then load the values in access.config.import.yml with the updated configuration
Supported Configurations
Below is an example of a complete YAML file showing all the different parameters that you may configure
# DO NOT IMPORT THIS FILE.
# This file describes the JFrog Access YAML configuration file and should only be
# as a reference.
#
# To change the configuration in an Access service, follow these instructions:
# 1. Find the value you want to update
# 2. Set the value in the access.config.latest.yml file under [$JFROG_HOME]/artifactory/var/etc/access
# 3. Change access.config.latest.yml to access.config.import.yml
# 4. Restart Access
