Nexus admin user - Could not evaluate: authentication error

Sonatype Nexus Repository
1

Hi There,

In my environment the Nexus upgrades are managed by Puppet. Upon Puppet run, the upgrade succeeds but there is an error as an authentication error for admin user as below:

Error: /Stage[main]/Nexus::Config::Admin/Nexus_user[admin]: Could not evaluate: authentication error
Notice: /Stage[main]/Nexus::Config::Anonymous/Nexus_setting[security/anonymous]: Dependency Nexus_user[admin] has failures: true

Current Nexus version 3.55.0-01. This was also present during previous upgrade to version 3.41.0-01.

I am struggling to fix this error. There is no admin.password file under …/sonatype-work/nexus3/ as has been suggested somewhere else.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The file for passwords is only used for initial instance setup.

I don’t believe we distribute any puppet integration so I’d suggesting raising an issue wherever you found the integration.
