-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow Repositories and Mirrors To Delegate Credentials To
A <server>
Key: MNG-8380
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8380
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Settings
Affects Versions: 3.9.9
Reporter: Robert Krajewski
As far as I can tell from the current documentation and the behavior of Maven
3.9.9, mirrors and repositories need authentication are still obliged to rely
on a server element of the same id as the repository for each repository or
mirror that needs credentials. If this is not the case, please document a
solution that does not require such repetition, otherwise please take a look at
the discussion at
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17511469/setting-a-single-server-credentials-in-maven-for-multiple-repositories]
If there is no proposal, what I'd suggest is that an element like
<referenceServerId> (or something like that) contained in a <mirror> or
<repository> element, which if present, directs Maven to use the credentials
used in the referenced <server> with the <id> given by <referenceServerId>.
That server *must* be present in the settings environment.
