What I want to do:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://nexus.REDACTED_DOMAIN/content/repositories/REDACTED_ID/archetype-catalog.xml

but I get this error:

org.apache.maven.wagon.authorization.AuthorizationException: Not authorized , ReasonPhrase:Unauthorized.

Our internal nexus is protected with LDAP, as is typical. I've got the following setup:

~/.m2/
    settings.xml
    settings-security.xml

The contents of my settings-security.xml look like this:

<settingsSecurity>
  <master>{hashed characters here}</master>
</settingsSecurity>

The contents of my settings.xml file look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.1.0.xsd">
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>REDACTED_ID</id>
      <username>REDACTED_USER</username>
      <password>{hashed-characters}</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

From what I can tell, I have set everything correctly. I thought that maybe my password itself was the cause of the issue (I use a special character that sometimes causes issues with bash if not properly escaped). To see if this was the issue, I downloaded the maven settings decoder. The decoder, shows that my password is correct when brought back to clear text.

I tried restarting in case my settings were cached /tmp or memory, but this was not the case either.

I thought that maybe I needed to reinstall maven, so with homebrew (I'm on osx) I uninstalled and reinstalled maven to no effect.

I ran mvn with -X and it shows that my settings are being loaded:

[DEBUG] Reading global settings from /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.3.9/libexec/conf/settings.xml
[DEBUG] Reading user settings from /Users/redacted/.m2/settings.xml

and nothing seems out of the ordinary from the global settings. What else is left? What should I do? The next step does not seem obvious to me and I'm somewhat at my wits end.

EDIT: Full debug output, as requested.

  • share more of those error logs with debug true and take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24830610/why-am-i-getting-a-401-unauthorized-error-in-maven – Naman Jan 25 '17 at 19:36
  • @nullpointer I've attached the logs. I took a look at the link you shared. It has some useful information in it, but I don't think it's what is affecting me. I can curl the `archetype.xml` file using the `-u` basic auth flag without issue, so I don't think this is a server side issue (especially because I'm just asking maven to perform a GET and I'm not relying on a particular state, like you would if you were trying to release an artifact like he was) – Niko Jan 25 '17 at 20:34

I have good and bad news for you: just check the source and traced the issue down to RemoteCatalogArchetypeDataSource. Have a look at your request. How is Maven supposed to associate your -DarchetypeCatalog value with a valid server id? It can't, you have to tell! Here is the bad news, you can't tell because the repository id is hardcoded in the aformentioned class. Create a new server element in your settings.xml with the id archetype and it should work. If you are in question, you can debug down to RemoteCatalogArchetypeDataSource and you'll see how a Wagon instance in populated with those type of information, along with your credentials.

  • Adding a new server section id'd `archetype` seems to work fine, but by your description this should be performing some pattern matching? I've updated the question to better show that the `REDACTED_ID` is actually in the URL of the archetype. This solves the immediate problem of generating a project from an archetype, but I can see a future where I have to try and add new `` elements for every blocked situation I run into, down the line. Is there a better ID scheme I should be using instead? – Niko Jan 25 '17 at 21:18
  • No, it should not. The approach with the `REDACTED_ID` in the URL is brittle, pattern matching is brittle because it would require us to impose a specific URL style which is likely to be impossible. The server id is not linked to a repo by design. You are better off to use the proposed solution so far. You can of course analyze the code and provide a PR to avoid this duplicate server id maintenance, I'd be happy to review it. – Michael-O Jan 25 '17 at 21:24
  • I don't have a better solution in mind, I was just trying to see if I was understanding the usage correctly (which I do, but only now). I'll be using your solution as-is. Thank you! – Niko Jan 25 '17 at 21:28
  • Please also try [this](http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/faq.html#authentication) and tell me if it is working. We can at least improve the documentation on this and add an IT for it. Mind to create an issue for? – Michael-O Jan 25 '17 at 21:33
  • I just tried it. I removed the "archetype" server section and then used that -D option where I manually specify the ID, however it doesn't seem to work. (It's a new error, different from the original.) Where would you like me to create an issue? I'll attach my log output to it – Niko Jan 25 '17 at 22:12
