mvn-deploy Return code is: 401, ReasonPhrase: Unauthorized

[nup]

Hi, 

I have a strange issue, but it works one server while does not on a new server with the following setup

Using Nexus 3.4.0.02

Created user jenkins

Created maven-hosted repository third-party

Created deploy role and added jenkins user with the following rights so it can deploy to thrid-party repo

nx-repository-view-*-*-add', 'nx-repository-view-*-*-edit

nx-repository-view-*-*-read', 'nx-repository-view-*-*-browse

I have my setting.xml pointing to my third-party repo with jenkins user with password added, but cannot deploy  jar to nexus. 

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=ojdbc6-11.2.0.3.jar -DgeneratePom=true -DrepositoryId=jenkins -Durl=http://server:8081/repository/third-party/

Return code is: 401, ReasonPhrase: Unauthorized

I tired with admin user, but still get the above error. 

Tried to add anonymous user to deploy role and that works. I am puzzled as to why anonymous user works when added to deploy role and jenkins user or even admin does not.  

Any help would be appreciated in solving this mystery :-)

thx

My fault as I had a typo in my -DrepositoryId=jenkins instead of third-party.

Hi, 

If you fail to deploy try adding this the settings.xml

  <servers>

        <server>

            <id>nexus</id>

            <username>admin</username>

            <password>admin123</password>

        </server>

    </servers>

probably should work. 

If you already found the solution then great :)
