There is an HA cluster with two nodes. When starting the HA cluster, only one node spins up as expected but there is an issue starting the second node. One reason for this could be because:
The join.key is different on each of the nodes The join.key is identical on both nodes The join.key has expired All of the above.
Artifactory can be configured to lock a user account after a specified number of failed login attempts, this is enabled by checking “lock user after exceeding max failed login attempts” and specifying the “max failed login attempts” field. What should users who get locked out of their account because they have exceeded the maximum number of failed login attempts allowed (as specified in the “max failed login attempts”) do?
Request a password reset from the Artifactory login page
Wait 5 minutes and try to access your account after the lock expired
Wait 1 hour and try to access your account after the lock expired
Ask an administration to unlock the account
Request a password reset from the Artifactory login page Wait 5 minutes and try to access your account after the lock expired Wait 1 hour and try to access your account after the lock expired Ask an administration to unlock the account.

the artifactory-build-info repo can be added to a permission target True False.
Which of the following benefits does access token offer when used in artifactory? Access tokens can be used for authentication, not only by the artifactory instance or cluster where they were created, but also for other instances and clusters that are all part of the same “circle of trust” Access tokens can also be assigned to none user entities such as CI server jobs. Access tokens have an expiry period so you can control the period of time for which you grant access By assigning groups to tokens, you can control the level of access they provide All of the above None of the above.

.
Which of the following is not an available repo permission in artifactory> Annotate Read Manage Rename.
if a remote repository is missing a requested artifact, artifactory will return a “404 Not Found” error. This response is cached for a period of time during that time, artifactory will not issue new requests for the same artifacts to the remote and will return a 404 error. Which parameter needs to be set to change this behavior? Work offline Missed retrieval cache period Assumed offline period There is not such option, if the package is available on the remote repo then it will be served without error.
which users can create repos? All users Admin users Depends of the permission of the artifactory instance Only internal users.
how does artifactory behave if you upload a jar file in artifact of the wrong package type and layout to a local rpm repo (e.g. uploading a pypi artifact to a maven repo)? artifactory will throw an error artifactory will provide you with a warning message asking you if you are sure you would like to upload this artifact upload succeeds, but artifactory will NOT index the package or update the metadata for the repo upload succeeds, and artifactory will index the package and update the metadata for the repo.
which repo cannot be deleted? Generic-local Maven-remote Artifactory-build-infra Docker-virtual Any repo with content.
let’s say you have a virtual repo “virtual-a” containing “local-a” , “remote-a”, and “virtual-b” (which contains local-b and remote-b) in that order
in which order will artifactory resolve the requests to this repo? the artifact will not be resolved due to invalid nesting local-a, local-b, remote-a-cache, remote-b-cache, remote-a, remote-b remote-a-cache, remote-b-cache, remote-a, remote-b, local-a, local-b remote-a-cache , remote-b-cache, local-a , local-b, remote-a, remote-b local-a, remote-a-cache, remote-a, local-b, remote-b-cache, remote-b depends on the order in which they were added to the configuration.
you don’t want your team to download the logback-core version 1.1.17 from Jcenter, how can you block file downloads? grant a permission target Just delete it from the cache every time someone request it It is impossible to do Specify the package name and version to be excluded in the remote repo configuration.
you are working with remote repos and you want to use only cached artifacts. What can you do?
Choose 3 answers:
use the “-cache” suffix in the repo name
use the property “cache=true” check the “offline” option in the repo configuration change or delete the password for the backing repo of this remote so it won’t be able to access it again work with Jfrog CLI check the “global offline mode” option under configuration In admin tab.
you have a completely stable repo that should not have anything deployed to it. If you want users to be able to use artifacts in this repo, but no new ones should be published to it, how can this be done? By restricting the access to the repository using permissions. It can’t be done By enabling the “blacked out” option in the advanced setup of that repo By relying on the “-cache” version of the repo.
the association of an artifact dependency with a build is retained after it is moved or copied within artifactory true, due to the fact that artifact checksum remains constant regardless of its location true, because a build object contains a copy of all relevant artifacts false, because every build deploys new artifacts false, because the checksum is related to the path of the artifacts.
to make sure your system doesn't become clogged with unused binaries ,artifactory runs the garbage collection ,how does garbage collection run on a HA cluster? GC can run on multiple nodes at the same time GC runs only on the primery node GC has a parameter that can be set to specify the number of nodes to run GC runs on all nodes.
When upgrading artifatory HA, for a zero time upgrade you should: Stop all nodes, proceed to upgrade secondaries, and then upgrade the primary Upgrade the primary first.
