Hi Team,
We have set up a proxy Docker registry in Nexus, with a remote repository being proxied from [https://registry.opencode.de](https://registry.opencode.de). In Harbor, we configured a replication rule with a pull-based replication mode. The source registry in Harbor is set as the Nexus proxy registry, with the remote repository configured as “opencode” in Nexus.
Our goal is to replicate images in Harbor via the Nexus proxy, using the URL pattern [https://nexusexmaple.com/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/container-images/](https://nexusexmaple.com/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/container-images/)\*\*. However, we are encountering a 401 unauthorized error from [https://registry.opencode.de](https://registry.opencode.de), as indicated in the Nexus logs.

Interestingly, we can successfully replicate images from Harbor when attempting to replicate one image at a time. For example, if we use the URL [https://nexusexmaple.com/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/container-images/bundesmessenger-call](https://nexusexmaple.com/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/container-images/bundesmessenger-call), the replication works without issues.

We are seeking assistance in identifying the reason behind our ability to replicate one image at a time, while encountering a 401 unauthorized error when attempting to replicate all images from the repository [https://nexusexmaple.com/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/container-images/](https://nexusexmaple.com/bwi/bundesmessenger/backend/container-images/).
It’s worth noting that we have checked Harbor logs, but there are no reported errors related to the replication process on the Harbor side.

Also got the similar issue when run mvn gpg:sign-and-deploy CLI

Hi Tim you should follow the support channels for OSSRH. This forum is for general questions about Nexus.
