[FIXED] Why am I getting a "401 Unauthorized" error in Maven?

May 13, 2022 java, maven

Issue

Why am I getting a "401 Unauthorized" error in Maven?

Here's the error I'm getting when calling mvn deploy (full logs at the bottom):

[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.7:deploy (default-deploy) on project xbnjava: Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact com.github.aliteralmind:xbnjava:pom:0.1.2 from/to sonatype-nexus-staging (https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/): Failed to transfer file: https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/com/github/aliteralmind/xbnjava/0.1.2/xbnjava-0.1.2.pom. Return code is: 401, ReasonPhrase: Unauthorized. -> [Help 1]

According to this sonatype support page:

"If you are receiving a 401 it is because maven is sending the wrong login credentials, or no credentials at all."

Below are the steps I've taken, below that are my full settings.xml and pom.xml files, and below that are the full logs from mvn deploy and mvn deploy -e.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I am just hitting wall after wall with Maven.

I followed sonatype's checklist when receiving a 401 error:

Checklist item 1. Make sure your username/password is correct by logging into the Nexus UI. If curl is installed on your machine, you can try deploying an artifact with...

I successfully logged in and out of the sonatype.org website, using the user/pass in settings.xml.
I attempted to use curl to manually deploy an artifact, with the command

[C:\]curl -u MY_SONATYPE_DOT_COM_USERNAME:MY_SONATYPE_DOT_COM_PASSWORD https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/github/aliteralmind/xbnjava/0.1.2-SNAPSHOT/xbnjava-0.1.2-20140716.224928-1.pom --request PUT --data @pom.xml

but got this error:

Warning: Couldn't read data from file "pom.xml", this makes an empty POST.
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

I ran it again with the -k option, and this time got only this:

Couldn't read data from file "pom.xml", this makes an empty POST.

I've never used curl before, so I'm at a loss on what to do with this information.

Checklist item 2. If there is no error output, ensure your user privileges are correctly configured on the server. Make sure to drop the repo you just created.

I don't know what "drop" means. I believe my privileges are properly installed, as I received this message from sonatype:

Configuration has been prepared, now you can:
Deploy snapshot artifacts into repository https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots
Deploy release artifacts into the staging repository https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2
Promote staged artifacts into repository 'Releases'
Download snapshot and release artifacts from group https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public
Download snapshot, release and staged artifacts from staging group https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/staging

and I have successfully put these items onto the server via mvn deploy in the past couple days.

The project's settings:

project settings

Checklist item 3. Make sure you have configured a server in settings.xml and that the server id is identical to the distribution repository id in pom.xml.

In settings.xml, settings/servers/server/id equals ossrh
In pom.xml, distributionManagement/snapshotRepository/id equals ossrh

(full files are at the bottom)

Checklist item 4. Make sure your settings.xml is in the correct place (normally it’s _~/.m2/settings.xml). You can check this by running mvn help:effective-settings.

According to Maven's settings reference, settings.xml must be in one of two locations:

The Maven install: $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml
A user’s install: ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml

Here's my setup:

settings.xml: C:\applications\programming\apache-maven-3.2.2\conf\settings.xml
M2_HOME is C:\applications\programming\apache-maven-3.2.2

Output for mvn help:effective-settings:

Checklist item 5. If the server is using https but the URL in your POM is http, you might get 401 as well.

I don't understand which url it's referring to.

Checklist item 6. Use the latest version of Maven, as there is a known issue regarding 401: MNG-4469

I am using the latest version:

Solution

I've had similar errors when trying to deploy a Gradle artefact to a Nexus Sonatype repository. You will get a 401 Unauthorized error if you supply the wrong credentials (password etc). You also get an error (and off the top of my head is also a 401) if you try to publish something to a releases repository and that version already exists in the repository. So you might find that by publishing from the command line it works, but then when you do it from a script it fails (because it didn't exist in the repository the first time around). Either publish using a different version number, or delete the old artefact on the server and republish.

The SNAPSHOTS repository (as opposed to the releases repository) allows you to overwrite a similarly numbered version, but your version number should have "-SNAPSHOT" at the end of it.
