I have set up Artifactory to be running locally on my machine at:

http://localhost:8080/artifactory/myRepo

That repo currently has only 1 dependency it is managing for me, Google Guice (3.0):

myRepo/
    google/
        guice/
            3.0/
                guice-3.0/
                    guice-3.0.jar
                    guive-3.0-ivy.xml

I have now configured my Ant build to kick off an Ivy resolve right up front:

<project name="myapp-build default="audit" basedir=".." xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant">
    <path id="ant.lib.path">
        <fileset dir="${env.ANT_HOME}/lib" includes="*.jar"/>
    </path>

    <!-- I have ivy.jar and its dependencies installed under ${ANT_HOME}lib. -->
    <taskdef resource="org/apache/ivy/ant/antlib.xml" uri="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant" classpathref="ant.lib.path"/>
    <target name="resolve">
        <!-- Initialize Ivy and connect to host repository. -->
        <echo message="Initializing Apache Ivy and connecting to the host repository."/>
        <ivy:settings url="${ivy.std.repo.settings.url}" realm="${ivy.std.repo.realm}"
username="${ivy.std.repo.username}" passwd="${ivy.std.repo.password}"/>

        <!-- Clear/flush the Ivy cache. -->
        <echo message="Cleaning the local Ivy cache for the current build."/>
        <ivy:cleancache/>

        <!-- Resolve ivy.xml against the standard repository (all configurations) -->
        <echo message="Resolving ivy.xml dependencies against the host repository."/>
        <ivy:resolve file="./ivy.xml"/>

        <!-- Retrieve compile dependencies from local Ivy cache and place them into the gen/lib/main. -->
        <echo message="Retrieving compile-time dependencies."/>
        <ivy:retrieve ivypattern="${gen.lib.main.dir}/[artifact].[ext]" conf="compile"/>

        <!-- Retrieve test dependencies from local Ivy cache and place them into the gen/lib/test. -->
        <echo message="Retrieving testing dependencies."/>
        <ivy:retrieve ivypattern="${gen.lib.test.dir}/[artifact].[ext]" conf="test"/>
    </target>

...

</project>

I’ve also written an ivy.xml descriptor for my module.

What I am struggling with is the ivysettings.xml file, specifically:

• Where do I put it (on my file system), or does Artifactory “upload” it somehow? If so, where/how?
• The username/password stuff (provided in the <ivy:settings> task) is for basic HTTP authentication, and I assume Artifactory reuses these credentials?

Basically, I need to know where to put the settings file, and how all the login URLs/credentials defined in <ivy:settings> relates to my Artifactory config.

Thanks in advance!

This is partially a duplicate of where do you put ivysettings.xml?
In regard to authentication – Artifactory default scheme works with basic HTTP authentication.
