-Chainguard Libraries use is transparent for development efforts and typically
-requires no additional network access for workstations and other infrastructure
-running builds because the libraries are provided by the repository manager as
-configured for [Java](/chainguard/libraries/java/global-configuration/) or
-[Python](/chainguard/libraries/python/global-configuration/).
+Whether using a repository manager or accessing libraries directly, you must allow HTTPS access to:
 
-The repository manager application must have HTTPS access to the domain
-`libraries.cgr.dev` for library access and `issuer.enforce.dev` for
-authentication.
+* `libraries.cgr.dev` for library access

+When using a repository manager, allowlist these domains in your repository manager. Your workstations and build infrastructure typically require no additional network access, as libraries are served through your repository manager.

+If accessing Chainguard Libraries directly for testing with curl or builds, allowlist these domains on your workstation.
