Andreas Sewe commented on MNG-5585:
-----------------------------------
FYI, Eclipse Tycho has recently (version 1.0.0) introduced a similar feature
for [sharing mirror settings for multiple
repositories|https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Target_Platform/Authentication_and_Mirrors#Mirroring_multiple_Repositories].
As this feature request is similar (sharing settings/credentials for multiple
repositories), the configuration syntax chosen by the Tycho developers
(overloading repository/id) may serve as inspiration.
> match server credentials based on server realm

> Key: MNG-5585
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5585
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Settings
> Affects Versions: 3.x / Backlog
> Reporter: nicolas de loof
>
> credentials for repositories are identified based on arbitrary ID. This is
> error prone and fragile design, especially as there's no way to diagnose
> which credentials are used (see MNG-5584).
> A realm-based server matching would better follow the way HTTP security is
> defined, and could be easily used for other protocols based (for sample) on
> domain name.
> <server>
> <id>xxx</id>
> <realm>[optional protocol://]repo.acme.com</realm>
> ..
> </server>
