Jfrog not working with a token
Asked by Andrew Zyman:

hello,

the pipeline can't reach artifactory while using a token.

JF_ARTIFACTORY_1 is a secret and is set to the token generated on a local machine by running "jf c export". The jfrog cli is from jfrog-cli-v2-jf-2.10.1-1.x86_64 rpm.

pipeline code:  

```
push: &push
name: Push to Jfrog
script:
 - apk add curl
 - pipe: jfrog/jfrog-setup-cli:1.0.0
 - source ./jfrog-setup-cli.sh
 - jf rt ping
 - jfrog rt ping --url https://XXXX.jfrog.io/artifactory --user xxxx --password xxx
```

jfrog rt ping - fails with 404

jfrog rt ping --url - completes with "OK"

jf rt ping on a local machine returns "OK" too.

Update:

Downgrading the cli to 1.52 did not resolve the problem with the pipeline:

```
jfrog-cli-1.52.0-1.x86_64

jfrog -v
jfrog version 1.52.0
[aa@fedora utils]$ jfrog rt ping
OK
```

the token generated by cli v1 and v2 is identical.

Update 2:

setting repository variable :  
JFROG_CLI_VERSION 1.9.0  
broke the cli:

    + source ./jfrog-setup-cli.sh

Welcome to the Community!!

You either need to use an admin token in order to have the integration or the general account encrypted password in order to authenticate while you are using jfrog cli command

thank you for the reply.

\> .. admin token in order to have the integration or the general account encrypted password

what is the admin token?

what is the "general account"?

Admin token reference here

<https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Access+Tokens#AccessTokens-GeneratingAdminTokens>

A general account is the one that you create as the service user in order to have the integration between different tools

Thanks,

thank you. This is helpful.

To clarify:

a. pinging from a local machine - works.  
I can ping using user/pass or using stored configuration.

b. pinging from pipe when user/pass is used - works

c. ping is failing from the pipe when the token generated on the local machine is used.

Now. I generated an admin user token :

```
Username XXX
Scope applied-permissions/admin api:*
Audience *@*
Expires In 3600 Seconds
```

I replaced the one in JF_ARTIFACTORY_1 with this admin token.

the new error:

```
source ./jfrog-setup-cli.sh
+ source ./jfrog-setup-cli.sh
Downloading version 1.37.1 of JFrog CLI...

```

this is the same issue as mentioned in the still open ticket here (<https://bitbucket.org/jfrog/jfrog-setup-cli/issues/6/problem-downloading-v1371-and-running>)

Please advise.
