Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on MNG-4792: ------------------------------------------------- We hit the problem that Maven does not download files from a public Artifactory with partially private repositories as well. It turns out that disabling the option "Hide Existence of Unauthorized Resources" in the Security General Configuration of Artifactory also resolves the problem. Maven will send username and password AFTER Artifactory has first denied access. > Preemptive authentication doesn't work > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-4792 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4792 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Artifacts and Repositories > Affects Versions: 2.2.1 > Environment: Sun Java 1.6.0_21, Windows 7 > Reporter: Marcin Zajaczkowski > Assignee: Olivier Lamy > Fix For: 3.0.4 > > > It seems preemptive authentication in Maven using httpclient wagon provider > doesn't work.
