How do you configure Maven to supply a username/password to a mirror
that expects it?
I've configured Maven to route all its requests through our internal
Archiva proxy by setting the proxy as mirrorOf * as is usually done:
<mirror>
<id>ourcorp-internal</id>
<url>http://repo.ourcorp.com/archiva/repository/m2-central-cached/</url>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
The problem is, Archiva is returning 401 access denied.* I get a
username/password prompt when I plug this URL into a browser, so I guess
Archiva expects Maven to pass these credentials, but where am I supposed
to declare them in the Maven config? I searched the settings docs, but
they have nothing to say about this situation (at least the docs I
found).
Advice or alternate workaround config appreciated, thanks in advance...
* You might ask, how can I be so certain it's a 401 error when the Maven
error message shows no details of connection failures? I used a packet
sniffer.
