Question

How to pass in credentials when connecting to sonatype nexus (anonymous login disabled) ?

Answer 1

+1 A:

As far as I know there are no maven xml tags to configure that. Of course you could try prefixing the domain name with username and password like so:

http://username:password@yournexusserver/..

This works for me, although I'm using buildr instead of maven. It only happens to work because the underlying http library supports it, not because of any explicit support on the part of buildr, but the key point is that Nexus supports using http auth, rather than the cookie-based auth I imagine it uses for the admin interface.

+2 A:

Which username password you talking about? If its the username defined in nexus repository then you can define in settings.xml where you defined the nexus repository.

  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>releases</id>
      <username>xxxxxxxxx</username>
      <password>yyyyyyyy</password>
    </server>
    </server> 
  </servers>

Does this apply to retrieving artifacts too? I thought this was for artifact upload.

Yes it applies for retrieving artifacts also. The value in the id attribute should match the value of mirror id, you defined for nexus repository.

Answer 3

+1 A:

Maven will use the entries defined in your settings for the auth when prompted by Nexus. Just enter a server entry with the same Id that you are using for your repository (or mirror if using one), and that's all.
