Problem with authentication

[Gilles Sadowski <gi...@harfang.homelinux.org>]

Hello.

I try to copy (i.e. "install") files from a  password-protected "ibiblio"
repository to a "filesystem" repository. But I'm stuck with a 401 response.

Below is the relevant part of the output using the '-d' switch.

My ivy "settings" file contains a <credentials> tag, and the info there is
correct because I can connect to the repository with a web browser using the
same username and password.

In particular, in the above log excerpt, I can't understand the lines saying:

  authentication: k='Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager@gaia.esac.esa.int' c='null'

What is 'k' and what is 'c'?
Why doesn't ivy use the username and password?

Thanks,
Gilles

Hi.

Replying to my own question:

This was indeed the problem. The "Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager" string
indicated above *must* be set as the "realm" attribute in <credentials>.

I think that it would be worth mentioning such pitfalls in the
documentation...
