The rpmcache is simply that, a cache, the actual rpms are stored in a
mapped hash based on disk format that Artifactory tracks in its database,
it doesn't use a flat file format because that is inefficient to the levels
of scale it can handle. If you access your server at your repo URL you will
see the repodata folder and if you configure it as a repo on a server it
will function perfectly. From what I've gathered the only use of the
rpmcache folder is allowing them to quickly incrementally index a
repository without having to do a full query against every rpm. Trust the
process and read the documentation, the 'Set me up' buttons in the UI are
amazingly helpful.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
