Create Maven Proxy-Repository by Script with username/password

[Dan Steffen]

Hello,

at the moment I try to automate the creation of maven-proxy repositories by the nexus3-API so I wrote this little Script:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper; def repo=new JsonSlurper().parseText(args);
repository.createMavenProxy(repo.name, repo.url, 'default', true, org.sonatype.nexus.repository.maven.VersionPolicy.valueOf(repo.policy), org.sonatype.nexus.repository.maven.LayoutPolicy.STRICT)

and uploaded it to the nexus3-Server and I can already give this script a json so it created for me the proxy repository. But I didn't found out till this point how can I set username and password for the new repository? Maybe there is a additional method, but I don't can figured out which, maybe someone here can help me? I would very thanksful for every helpful hint.
best regards
Dan

Hi Dan,

To add a local user account, you can call security.addUser, as shown here:

https://gist.github.com/nblair/1a0e05713c3edb7e5360c2b0222c7623#file-nexus-repo-manager-privilege-example-groovy-L79

The rest of that gist has a few other relevant examples to what you are trying to do, like creating content selectors, privileges, and assigning roles.

Hello Nicholas,

maybe I make a mistake in my first posting I am looking not for a option to create a new nexus user I am looking for a option to set username and password for a new maven proxy repository because some repositories are password protected and we would like to create a proxy of this ones.
best regards

Hi Dan - whoops, sorry I misread your question. This script uses container.lookup to access the internal RepositoryManager API directly:

Hope this helps!

Nick

Hello Nick,

this helps indeed even if I was hoping for a single Methode to set Username/Password for the new Repository.

Hi Dan,

I use the following code:

import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.Repository;
def repo = repository.repositoryManager.browse().findResults { Repository repo -> (repo.name == 'docker-registry') ? repo : null }[0];
repo.configuration.attributes['httpclient']['authentication'] = [
   'type': 'username',
   'username': 'registry',
   'password': '${docker_registry_password}'
];
repo.stop();
repo.update(repo.configuration);
repo.start();
