>                 Key: CONTINUUM-1723
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1723
>             Project: Continuum
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Integration - Maven 2, Security, Web interface
>    Affects Versions: 1.1
>         Environment: linux system, plexus server, (maestro1.5.1 bundle)
>            Reporter: David Delbecq
>            Priority: Critical

> When adding a maven2 project, if the provided pom.xml url (first field of form) requires user / pass authentification and you type in the wrong password or wrong username, continuum caches it and will always use it for the rest of his life. As a result it's impossible to get the pom.xml, even if you type correct password in field.
> Steps to reproduce
> # go to continuum server
> # Type url of a pom.xml that requires server "basic" authentification
> # Type in any user/pass for that url that is incorrect (eg: foo:bar)
> # Click add
> # Pages show up form again telling "there was a problem getting the pom.xml"
> # Type in correct user/password
> # Click add
> # Pages show up again telling same problem
> # logout, login, try again with correct user/password
> # Still impossible 
> # Logout , close your browser, clean your cookies and everything
> # Login, try again with correct user/password
> # Still impossible
> # shutdown continuum server and it's JVM, restart it
> # Login, try again with correct user/password
> # *Success!*
> # Try to add a second project, with another url on *same* http server, with incorrect user/pass
> # *Success!*
> As a conclusion, continuum caches somewhere the first user / pass, even if incorrect, and will reuse it everytime you access this server. This is a problem in an environment where multiple teams share a common continuum server, a common svn server (with different access rights at different project nodes) and have rights to add projects. The first team member to add a project will have have his user/password right forced to every other users trying to add project.
> The only solution i found so far is, after adding a project, to shutdown the jvm hosting continuum and restart it.
> Behind the scene:
> sniffing of protocol show clearly that continuum, when "getting" the pom mentionned in add project, always uses the same basic authentification, whatever the user type in in user/pass boxes. It's always the first attempt that get used
