Remote repositories work as follows:

  1. A developer calls for a particular software dependency typically while working in an IDE.

  2. JFrog pulls the dependency from the relevant public registry (for example, Maven Central and Docker Hub) and caches it in a remote repository. When the next developer needs the same dependency, JFrog serves it directly from the cache.

Artifactory can perform authentication with remote registries using tokens and TLS certificates.
