3. On the References tab, click Add Reference.
4. Enter an appropriate name for the reference.
5. From the Method list, select Artifactory.
6. Select appropriate Server details. Configure server details before selecting server.
7. In the Location field, add location in the following format: action://reference_get_artifactory/<user>:<pass>@<artifactory_host>[:<port>]/<asset_path>, where:
   • action://reference_get_artifactory retrieves data from JFrog Artifactory.
   • <user>:<pass> validates username and password of JFrog Artifactory.

   • <artifactory_host>[:<port>]/<asset_path> specifies the path of the asset in JFrog Artifactory to be deployed.

     Note

     Folder download is not supported by this integration. Only the artifact will be fetched.

8. If you want content from your references not to be pulled into your local database during instance creation, add remote references to the package. See Remote-reference. Otherwise, specify the server and the location of the file on that server in the appropriate fields, and keep the default false value in the Remote reference field.
