Configuring the Encryption Mode of a Maven Repository

Dependency Management Tool: Maven

• Ensure that you have installed JDK and Maven.
• Download the configuration file, or modify the Maven settings.xml file in the conf or .m2 directory as follows.

To encrypt a password, perform the following operations:

1. Create a master password.

   mvn --encrypt-master-password <password>

   An encrypted password is generated, for example, {jSMOWnoPFgsHVpMvz5VrIt5kRbzGpI8u+9EF1iFQyJQ=}.

   Save it to the ${user.home}/.m2/settings-security.xml file. For example:

   <settingsSecurity>
   <master>{jSMOWnoPFgsHVpMvz5VrIt5kRbzGpI8u+9EF1iFQyJQ=}</master>
   </settingsSecurity>

2. Encrypt the password.

   mvn --encrypt-password <password>

   An encrypted password is generated, for example: {COQLCE6DU6GtcS5P=}.

   Save it to the settings.xml file. For example:

   <settingsSecurity>
   <master>{jSMOWnoPFgsHVpMvz5VrIt5kRbzGpI8u+9EF1iFQyJQ=}</master>
   </settingsSecurity>

Dependency Management Tool: Gradle

Prerequisites: You have installed JDK and Gradle.

1. Add the nu.studer.credentials plug-in to the build.gradle file in the Gradle project.

   plugins{   
    id 'nu.studer.credentials' version '2.1'
   }

2. Create an encryption password.

   gradle addCredentials -PcredentialsKey=accountPassword -PcredentialsValue="**"

   The following encrypted password is generated: cVe******kg\=\=.

   By default, the data is stored in the GRADLE_USER_HOME/gradle.encrypted.properties file. For example:

   accountPassword=cVe******kg\=\=

3. Configure the repository with an encrypted password in the build.gradle file.

   def password = credentials.accountPassword
                  repositories {
                    maven {
                      credentials {
                        username 'cn-north-1_f9e40463c23845438ca9efd3a7ec854e_67902fb51ded48c2868310a07e1569e7'
                        password password
                      }
                      url 'https://devrepo.****.com/artgalaxy/cn-north-1_f9e40463c23845438ca9efd3a7ec854e_maven_1_7/'
                    }
                  }
