Sonatype CLM for Nexus

Chapter 8. Introduction

CLM for staging in Nexus combines the powerful controls for your release process from Nexus with the rich information and validation available in the CLM Server. Using them together you can ensure that any releases you produce are actively and automatically validated against up to date information in terms of security vulnerabilities and license characteristics of all the components you use and any whitelists or blacklists you maintain as well as other policies you have defined are enforced.

You will need to have completed the following items before using CLM with Nexus Staging. This includes:

On the CLM Server
  • Created an Organization
  • Created an Application
  • Created a Policy
In Nexus CLM
  • Created a Staging Profile
[Note]

Before using CLM for staging you should be familiar with the general setup and usage patterns of the Nexus Staging Suite documented in the chapter on staging, located in the Nexus book. There, you will be guided through the process to get Nexus prepared to handle your staging needs.
