JFrog Artifactory
Integrate JFrog Artifactory with OX to centralize security findings alongside container, pipeline, cloud, and runtime signals already in OX.
OX scans JFrog Artifactory on a schedule and on demand, enriches findings with OX context (application mapping, workflows, and compliance), and presents a unified queue for investigation and reporting.
After you connect, JFrog Artifactory scan results appear on the Active Issues page (use the filter Source tool > JFrog Artifactory).
What OX adds
Context and correlation: OX maps JFrog Artifactory findings to applications, services, and teams to show impact and ownership.
Prioritization with severity factors: OX may reprioritize scanner severities when exploitability and environment context reduce risk (for example, Critical → High). Severity factors explain why the priority changed.
Evidence at a glance: When available, OX displays scanner evidence, file locations, and remediation guidance alongside OX analytics to speed triage.
Connection methods
For general information about connection methods, see Connection methods.
Connect to OX with a JFrog group-scoped access token.
Prerequisites
OX
Permission to configure connectors
JFrog
JFrog Platform user account with permission to create groups, permissions, and access tokens
Connect with a group access token
Step 1: Create credentials and permissions [JFrog]
The step has several parts.
Create a group
Verify that the prerequisites are in place.
Log in to your JFrog Platform (cloud or on-premises).
Go to Administration > User Management > Groups.
Select New Group and enter a name for the group.
Select Save.
Create permissions
Go to Administration > User Management > Permissions.
Select New Permission and enter a name (e.g., ox-permissions).
Scroll to Resources and select Add Repositories.
Select the local repositories you want OX Security to scan and move them to the Selected Repositories list (right side of the page).
Select OK.
Still in Permissions, select the Groups tab.
From Selected Groups, select the group you just created and move it to the Selected Group list (right side of the screen).
Select OK.
Still in Permissions, in Selected Group Repositories, checkmark Read.
To complete, select Create.
Create a user
Now create a user and add the user to the group.
Go to Administration > User Management > Users.
Select New User.
User Name: A meaningful name. You use this to set up the connection in OX.
Email: Your JFrog email.
Can Update Profile: Leave checked.
Password: Create one.
Scroll to Related Groups and select the group you created. If there are other groups, uncheck them.
To complete, select Save.
Create an access token
For JFrog documentation, see the article Creating Access Tokens in Artifactory.
Go to Administration > User Management > Access Tokens.
Select Generate Token.
Select Scoped Token.
Complete the details.
Description
Enter a meaningful description (e.g., OX Security Integration Token)
Token Scope
From the dropdown, select User
User
Select the user you just created
Service
Select Artifactory
Expiration Time
Select Never (recommended)
Create Reference Token (creates a shorter url)
Enable
Select Generate.
Copy and store the reference token in a secure location. You cannot view it again after this step. Best practice: Store the access token in a secrets manager and set a reminder to rotate the access token before expiration according to your policy.
Step 2: Connect to OX [OX]
Verify that the prerequisites are in place.
In OX, go to Connectors > Registry and select JFrog Artifactory.
Enter the following parameters.
JFrog Platform URL
The base URL of your JFrog Platform account + artifactory (e.g., https://your-organization.jfrog.io/artifactory)
User Name
The user name for this connection
API Token
The group-scoped access token you created in JFrog
Connection Name
Enter a name if there isn’t one
Click VERIFY CONNECTIVITY.
A green success message at the bottom of the screen indicates a successful connection. If verification fails, check your credentials and permissions.
Click CONNECT.
Optional configurations
To change the resources OX scans and monitors, see the section Change the locations OX scans.
To connect more JFrog accounts to the same organization in the OX platform, repeat the process.
For information on the OX Broker, see the article OX Broker.
Change the locations OX scans
Once you have a connection, you can change the locations that OX scans and monitors.
Use the Gear icon at the bottom of the Configuration screen.
OX displays the locations or objects that OX scans and monitors.
Change the selection as needed.
