Setup Puppet Enterprise Code Manager to use Artifactory as Puppet Forge

Setup Artifactory

Actually installing Artifactory is outside the scope of this document. It is assumed that your have artifactory PRO or greater already running.

Here are the steps from their documentation on setting up the Puppet Repo: https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Puppet+Repositories

In the additional files below, you will find a common.yaml and pe.conf fragment.

The common.yaml setting assumes Puppet Enterprise is already running and you an already deploy your control-repo. The pe.conf is an "install time" setting, but you can also set it after installing.

## Add this to your pe.conf towards the end before the closing "}" and run the install.
## NOTE: you can also add this to /etc/puppetlabs/enterprise/conf.d/pe.conf if you have already installed.
## Be sure to run `puppet agent -t` to "activate" the changes.
