Gradle and Artifactory Plugin with API Key

Question

I am currently running into trouble with the Artifactory Plugin for Gradle. We are working in corporate and have read access to some artifacts via api key (We do not have access to a username:password combination). Now I am struggling with including the key into our gradle build (configuring the Artifactory Plugin). Is there any solution to this or is there any support for api key authentication in the Artifactory Plugin?

Answer 1

I configured gradle to use my Artifcatory API key by adding this to my gradle.properties file:

# configure Artifactory access
artifactoryContextUrl=<url>
artifactoryUser=<username>
artifactoryPassword=<api-key>
