Artifactory allows to create repository or package name with special character colon(:)

Artifactory allows to create a repository or package name with special character colon ":" from UI.

Due to this, backup is failing on windows file system because the package name contains a colon ( : ). It is a limitation from the Windows operating system which doesn't allow to create a folder name with a colon ":" in it.

Error message : Export error: from: dps-generic-pypi-public:dps_isyntax_Centos/centos_rpms_2018-12-14 12:05:49 CET_104 to: \\nlyehvitrdnahv1.storage.philips.com\TA_Artifactory\BU\current\repositories\dps-generic-pypi-public reason: Unable to create directory 

 

ASK: 

1) Don't allow colon " : " in the package name

2) Change the backup in a way that the not allowed characters are handled
