JFrog - How do I link my account?

​

Overview

To authenticate with JFrog, you need:

1. JFrog Platform Hostname — the hostname of your JFrog Platform, for example mycompany.jfrog.io.
2. Access Token — a reference token (identity token) or a full access token.

This guide will show you how to find both.

​

Prerequisites

• A JFrog Platform account, on JFrog Cloud or self-hosted.

​

Step 1: Find your JFrog Platform hostname

1. Sign in to your JFrog Platform in your browser.
2. Copy the hostname from the address bar, without https:// or any path. On JFrog Cloud it looks like mycompany.jfrog.io; on a self-hosted install it is your own domain.

​

Step 2: Generate an access token

Any user can generate a reference token for themselves from their profile:

1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and choose Edit Profile.

2. Enter your password and click Unlock to open your profile.
3. Under Authentication Settings, click Generate an Identity Token, add a description, and click Next.

4. Copy the Reference Token, then click Close. The token is shown only once.

Admins can generate a full access token instead:

1. Go to Administration → User Management → Access Tokens and click Generate Token.
2. Keep Scoped Token selected, choose the token scope (for example User) and the user, and set the expiration time.
3. Leave Create Reference Token unchecked to get the full access token, then click Generate.

4. Copy the token before closing the dialog. It is shown only once.

Tokens expire according to the expiration set when they were generated. When a token expires, generate a new one and update your connection. See Access Tokens for details.

​

Step 3: Enter your hostname and access token in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with JFrog.
2. Enter your JFrog Platform Hostname and your token in the Access Token field.
3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.

You are now connected to JFrog.
