Chapter 12. IQ for Repository Manager

[Tip]

The features discussed in this chapter require IQ Server and Nexus Repository Manager with the Repository license plus either the Firewall or Lifecycle license. The only exception is Audit and Quarantine, which require the Repository and Firewall licenses.

Nexus Repository Manager is a powerful, fully-supported, commercial repository manager. The range of functionality provided includes, but is not limited to:

  • Hosting repositories
  • Proxying remote repositories
  • Deployment target for third-party components
  • Secure access to the Central Repository
  • Grouping proxy and hosted repositories as well as snapshot and release repositories for simplified client configuration
  • Hosting component documentation web sites
  • Fine-grained security model
  • Component search
  • Procurement Suite for component availability control
  • Staging Suite for controlled release process and build promotion
  • Enhanced LDAP support and integration with Atlassian Crowd
  • Maven settings.xml management
  • User account self serve
  • Component validation and verification

Documentation about Repository Manager features as well as instructions for installation, configuration and usage are available in the free book Repository Management with Nexus: http://www.sonatype.com/Support/Books/Repository-Management-with-Nexus.

Nexus IQ for Repository Manager expands these capabilities by integrating with Nexus IQ Server capabilities.

[Note]

Repository Manager is also available as an open source edition, Repository Manager OSS, though with less functionality, and is not compatible with the Nexus IQ Server.
