Connect & JFrog Platform

JFrog Platform integration with Connect makes edge devices first-class citizens in a DevOps pipeline, ensuring speed, reliability, and security of software updates with device management at scale.

At the heart of the JFrog Platform is JFrog Artifactory, the industry standard for universal binary repository managers. Artifactory provides end-to-end automation and management of binaries and artifacts throughout the software delivery and deployment process.

Default JFrog Platform Account

If you already have Artifactory, you can easily add a JFrog Connect license and access them both through the JFrog Platform web UI. This enables you to upload binaries to an Artifactory repository and automatically pull artifacts for deployment to your edge devices.

Connect creates two repositories in your new Artifactory account:

• Connect-default-docker

• Connect-default-generic

JFrog Platform Instance

You can find your JFrog Platform instance domain at the bottom of the left navigation bar.

JFrog Instance Domain before April 2022

If you have registered to Connect before April 2022, do the following to find the JFrog Platform instance domain:

1. In the left sidebar, go to Updates and click the Create Update Flow tab.

1. Ensure the Connect Agent is 6.0.

2. Drag and drop the Artifacts action block and click it.

1. Ensure that the JFrog Account field is set to default-connect and click the eye to the right of the field. The instance domain is under JFrog Platform URL.

JFrog Xray

When you use Connect as an integral part of the full JFrog Platform, you can take advantage of JFrog Xray, the universal software composition analysis (SCA) solution. Xray proactively identifies open-source vulnerabilities and license compliance violations before they manifest in production devices.

Configure Other Registries

Regardless of the default Artifactory instance, you can configure your Connect account to work with a registry other than Artifactory.

To set up Connect to work with a different registry, see Registry.
