Can I have multiple repositories in Maven settings.xml with a single server credentials?
We're using Maven 3.0.4 to deploy artifacts to Nexus pro version 2.2.1
We have multiple repositories on the same server, and a user uses the same credentials to access all these repositories.
The settings.xml multiple repositories with the same credentials:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Staging-group</id>
<url>http://server/nexus/content/groups/Staging-group</url>
<repository>
<id>RELEASES</id>
<url>http://server/nexus/content/repositories/RELEASES</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>INTERNALS</id>
<url>http://server/nexus/content/repositories/INTERNALS</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>SNAPSHOTS</id>
<url>http://server/nexus/content/repositories/SNAPSHOTS</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
.....
<servers>
<server>
<id>Staging-group</id>
<username>user</username>
<password>password</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>RELEASES</id>
<username>user</username>
<password>password</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>SNAPSHOTS</id>
<username>user</username>
<password>password</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>INTERNALS</id>
<username>user</username>
<password>password</password>
</server>
</servers>
Nexus uses Active Directory authentication. So every time a user changes his or her Windows password, they need to change all four entries in the settings.xml
file
Is there a way to declare the credentials once for all the repositories?
Thanks, Eyal
Yes, at least I believe this should work.
Instead of
<repository>
<id>SNAPSHOTS</id>
<url>http://server/nexus/content/repositories/SNAPSHOTS</url>
</repository>
Use
<repository>
<id>nexus</id>
<name>SNAPSHOTS</name>
<url>http://server/nexus/content/repositories/SNAPSHOTS</url>
</repository>
Then just reference nexus as your server id.
