403 Forbidden Error when accessing NPM repository

[SilverPreeceSOF]

Been using the Graphman client for a while, had no issues, but today it seems that neither I nor my colleague can access the Broadcom NPM repository any more. Checking the documentation in this repository, I don't see any changes to the setup, but I am unable to install or upgrade the client. Example below:

$ npm install @layer7/graphman --global --registry https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/api/npm/layer7-npm
npm error code E403
npm error 403 403 Forbidden - GET https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/api/npm/layer7-npm/@layer7%2fgraphman
npm error 403 In most cases, you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm error 403 a package version that is forbidden by your security policy, or
npm error 403 on a server you do not have access to.

Is this a temporary issue, or does the repository now require authentication?

Broadcom's NPM registry is protected by the token-based authentication. Refer Graphman Client Artifacts to learn how to use the registry token to install NPM packages from the Broadcom Artifactory.
