In the project, for security reasons, we are using Active Directory with Nexus and we want to encrypt the password that is stored in settings.xml for Maven connection
I would like to know about the following:
does Nexus accept encrypted password for Authentication
does Nexus have the capability to decrypt the encrypted password that is passed to it from settings.xml
Storing encrypted passwords in the settings.xml file is a Maven feature, not necessarily a Nexus feature. Have you tried to use any of the approaches available here? Additionally, the Pro version of Nexus Repository Manager supports User Tokens, which may be another option.
