Step 2: Establish a Secure Connection for Distribution Between the Source Artifactory and the Artifactory Edge Nodes

In the Administration tab, go to User Management | Access Tokens | Pairing Token.

In the Generate Pairing Token for field, select the purpose of the pairing token.

Click Generate to generate the token.

This displays the token window, which includes the token's expiration (in seconds, set by default to 300 seconds = 5 minutes), the token ID, and the actual token, which you can copy by clicking Copy.

Generate a scoped token using the Create Token REST API.Create a Token

For example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8084/access/api/v1/service_trust/pairing/mission-control -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Copy the token.

Upload the token to the SaaS instance using the REST API.

Make the Edge node trust the Artifactory SaaS instance by doing the following:

1. Obtain the root.crt from the Artifactory SaaS instance by running the Get Root Certificate REST API against the SaaS instance.Get Root Certificate

2. Set the root.cert received in step 1 above as the trusted certificate in each Edge node by copying the service’s root certificate to the new Edge service’s $JFROG_HOME /artifactory/var/etc/access/keys/trusted folder.

Next, make the Artifactory SaaS instance trust the Edge node by doing the following:

1. Obtain the root.crt from the Edge nodes by running the Get Root Certificate REST API against each Edge.Get Root Certificate

2. To add the root.cert from the Edges, open a support request to copy the root certificate from step 2a to your SaaS instance.
