Overview

In a corporate environment it is often required that, in order to access remote resources, you need to go through a proxy server.
Artifactory supports both regular network proxies and NTLM proxies.

Defining Proxies

To use a proxy you first need to create a proxy definition via Admin:Configuration:Proxies.
Fields that do not require any value in your setup can be left blank (e.g. if you are not using authentication credentials or an NTLM proxy).

Checking the "System Default" checkbox, will activate a popup with the question "Do you wish to use this proxy with existing remote repositories (and override any assigned proxies)?":

Pressing "OK" will assign this proxy to all remote repositories (see below).
If the proxy is defined as "System Default" then Artifactory will use it for all HTTP queries not related to remote repositories downloads.
Only one system default proxy can be defined.

Using Proxies

A remote repository will use a proxy, only if one is selected in the configuration panel for that repository. A "System Default" proxy is assigned by default when creating a new remote repository, but not used by default. A remote repository without a proxy defined will not use any proxy!
