In a pipeline how should I access a private, firewalled Artifact Repository Manager.

[Thomas Dahll]

Disclaimer: I'm a beginner at this sort of configuring and working with Bitbucket-pipelines, so I believe I have jumped into the deep end here.

I need dependencies from a private, firewalled artifact repository manager(Jfrog).

Therefore I am trying to figure out how I could establish TLS connection directly to the Artifactory from the pipeline. Another option is to go through a Load balancer which already has a secure connection, and forward the request.

So in both cases, how would I go about doing that, and which way do you recommend?

Excerpt from the pipelines script

pipelines:

  default:

     - step: 

        script:

     - pipe: JfrogDev/artifactory-maven:0.3.3

         variables:

             ARTIFACTORY_URL: ${ARTIFACTORY_URL}

             ARTIFACTORY_USER: ${ARTIFACTORY_USER}

             ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD: ${ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD}

             MAVEN_SNAPSHOT_REPO: 'libs-snapshot'

             MAVEN_RELEASE_REPO: 'libs-release'

Regards. I'm thankful for any input.
