HTTP 404 When Accessing cdp-public Repository (Trial Environment)

dylee — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:10:08 GMT

Hello Support Team,

We are setting up a CDP Trial environment and noticed that accessing " https://archive.cloudera.com/cdp-public/ "consistently returns an HTTP 404 error, even without authentication. This prevents us from verifying access to public CDP artifacts during the trial installation. Could you please confirm whether the cdp-public path is available for trial users or if it has been deprecated or moved?

Best regards,
Dae‑Yeol Lee

Hi @dylee

Welcome to cloudera community! just wanted add some more details to @vafs response:

you are encountering at https://archive.cloudera.com/cdp-public/ is expected behavior. Cloudera has changed how its repositories are structured and accessed, particularly for CDP (Cloudera Data Platform).

The path cdp-public is not a browsable directory. To verify access and proceed with your trial installation, please refer to the following details regarding the repository structure and authentication:

1. The Repository Path has Changed

For modern CDP installations, Cloudera often uses a different path structure. If you are looking for Cloudera Manager or Runtime artifacts, the URLs typically include a /p/ (private/protected) or a specific version prefix.

Example for Cloudera Manager 7: https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/
Example for Runtime: https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cdh7/ (Note that CDP Private Cloud Base artifacts are often under the cdh7 path).

2. Authentication Requirements (The "Paywall")

Since February 2021, Cloudera moved its software behind a paywall. Even for trial environments, you generally cannot access the repositories without valid credentials.

Trial Credentials: When you signed up for the CDP trial, you should have received a License Key or a set of Remote Repository Credentials (username/password).
Verification: You cannot "browse" the root of the archive in a browser to verify access. Instead, you must test a specific file download using your trial credentials.

If you do not have credentials, you can request them via the Cloudera Trial Portal or contact your Cloudera Account Manager.

Test Command:

curl -u <your_username>:<your_password> https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.x.x/allkeys.asc
