I tried to run the command:
npm install -g @angular/[email protected]
but I have got the following error:
npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! Unable to authenticate, need: Basic realm="Artifactory Realm"
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/xxxx/.npm/_logs/2021-08-10T19_33_12_063Z-debug.log
note: node js and npm worked fine.
I have followed the instructions in Artifactory to solve this issue using the command:
npm config set registry https://artifactory.......com/artifactory/api/npm/xxxx/
as I have paste the following into the ~/.npmrc file :
_auth = fhgf......ghgj==
email = [email protected]
always-auth = true
I have also tried using npm login
, but I have got the below err and couldn’t continue:
npm login
Username: [email protected]
npm WARN Name may not contain non-url-safe chars
Username: ([email protected])
Username: ([email protected])
Username: ([email protected])
Username: ([email protected])
How can i solve this issue?
Update Dec, 2021
Artifactory moved to support APIKEY only. If your old _auth was base64 encoding of username:password
or username:encrypted_password
then both are unacceptable now. You must use APIKEY in place of these.
So, the supported _auth now becomes:
_auth: APIKEY
But ironically, even this didn't work in some cases.
Following seemed to be more reliable:
[System.Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("username:APIKEY"))
%userprofile%\.npmrc
)So, the final file looks like following:
registry=<URL>
_auth = <Base64 of username:APIKEY>
email = [email protected]
always-auth = true
