[ProGet, maven] 401 when connecting to registry

dario.wigger_0347

Hi everyone

I'm trying to use ProGet as registry for my maven dependencies. However I'm struggling to connect to ProGet.

Whenever I execute a maven reload, I get a "401 Unauthorized authentication failed".

I have setup an API-Key like this:

My settings.xml looks like this:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>central</id>
      <username>api</username>
      <password>[API-KEY]</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>ProGet</id>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>central</id>
          <url>[URL-to-feed]</url>
          <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
          <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
      <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <id>central</id>
          <url>[URL-to-feed]</url>
          <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
          <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
        </pluginRepository>
      </pluginRepositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>ProGet</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>proget</id>
      <name>ProGet</name>
      <url>[URL-to-feed]</url>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>

Does anyone have an Idea what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to add additional configuration to my maven feed?

Hi @dario-wigger_0347,

The configuration looks okay, and is basically what we have documented. So I think it ought to work...

From here, I would start by monitoring the HTTP traffic between Maven and ProGet. You can use a tool like Fiddler Classic on Windows or Wireshark. What you should see is:

Maven issues a request, and ProGet returns a 401 with WWW-Authenticate: Basic header
Maven reissues the request, sending a Authorization: Basic XXXXXXX

The XXXXX will be Base64 encoded api:your-api-key. If you don't see that, then something else is wrong. I would post it and maybe we can help.

You can also try downloading maven artifacts from an "Incognito" window. Your browser should also prompt you for a username/password, and then you can enter api and your api key.

Thanks,
Alana
