Ok, I understand how to create users in Nexus, how to create roles and assign users to roles, and do the same when authenticating externally using say LDAP, but what I dont understand is how someone would authenticate with Nexus when using say APT.
If anonymous use was enabled on Nexus then I could be logged into my Linux client as say user fred, and assuming the client had been setup to use a proxied repo on Nexus I could simply do yum update/apt update and I would be able to pull down any appropriate repos.
Same scenario except anonymous access is disabled - how would I authenticate against the Nexus server in order to look for and pull down repos ?.
