This page explains how you can set up a remote repository to access and download
Assured OSS packages. You have two options for setting up a
remote repository: JFrog Artifactory or Sonatype Nexus. For more information
about repository options, see Assured OSS repository
options.
Replace PROJECT_ID with the ID
of the project that you selected when you set up
Assured OSS.
In the User Name field, enter _json_key_base64.
In the Password field, provide the base64-encoded string of the
service account JSON key file. Use the entire base64-encoded string
in a single line as password. To get the base64-encoded string, run the
command cat key-filename.json | base64 -w 0.
For Python packages, append the obtained URL with /simple. Use the URL as
the index-url in the pip install command to download the required Python
packages. For example, if the obtained URL of the repository is
https://a0a87smb7hcda.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/pypi/assured-oss-python-repo,
then the corresponding index-url is
https://a0a87smb7hcda.jfrog.io/artifactory/api/pypi/assured-oss-python-repo/simple.
After the new remote repository is set up, configure your build tools (for
example, Apache Maven, Gradle Build Tool, or pip) to use this new remote
repository.
Known issues
Testing the connection using the Test button can return an error even if the
connection is configured correctly. We recommend that you create the remote
repository irrespective of the test button behavior. For another way of
confirming a connection, see Validate your connection.
Set up a remote repository using Sonatype Nexus
Sign in to your Sonatype Nexus repository manager. Ensure that you have the
required privileges to create a new remote repository.
Select the option to create a new repository.
Select the appropriate repository type (for example, select Maven for Java or
PyPi for Python).
Enter the following details for the new repository:
In the Name field, enter a unique name or identifier for the remote
repository.
In the Remote Storage field, choose from the following:
Replace PROJECT_ID with the ID
of the project that you selected when you set up
Assured OSS.
Under HTTP, select Authentication.
Specify the following:
In the Authentication type field, enter Username.
In the Username field, enter _json_key_base64.
In the Password field, provide the base64-encoded string of the
service account JSON key file. Use the entire base64 encoded-string
in a single line as password. To get the base64-encoded string, run the
command base64 key-filename.json.
Click Create Repository.
After the new remote repository is set up, point your build tools (for example,
Apache Maven, Gradle Build Tool, or pip) to use this new remote repository.
