How to generate NPM bearer token under sonatype nexus.

[Bindu Korrakooti]

I tried to create a read only token using my credentials as described in https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-authentication-tokens using 

npm create token --read-only

 

however I get the below error:

C:\Users>npm token create

npm password:

npm ERR! code E401

npm ERR! Unable to authenticate, your authentication token seems to be invalid.

npm ERR! To correct this please trying logging in again with:

npm ERR!     npm login

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

npm ERR!     C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2020-05-08T08_31_38_739Z-debug.log

Could you please suggest the feasible steps to generate NPM token.

The above error you got says you are not authenticated in NXRM. Either you have not ran npm login beforehand or your NXRM allows token authentication only which means you have to access your user token via NXRM UI.

Am able to login , please find the attached snippet for the reference.

The problem is you are using the "npm token create" command. This command is not supported by NXRM.

Only npm login / npm adduser is supported.
