Unable to access Bitbucket repository with Maven

[Sebastian Perez Ferretti]

Greetings, I am working with Maven and i have a private repository in bitbucket for some of my libraries. The problem i have is, after the update to App passwords, Maven can´t access my repository anymore.

I tried to change the config in ~/.m2/settings.xml, doing something like this:

<server>
    <id>example</id>
    <configuration>
        <httpHeaders>
            <property>
                <name>Authorization</name>
                <!-- Base64-encoded "bitbucketuser:password" -->
                <value>Basic xxx/value>
            </property>
        </httpHeaders>
    </configuration>
</server>

where "xxx" is my Base64 encoded username:app_password. But it didn´t work. The message I obtain is: Not authorized , ReasonPhrase\:Unauthorized

Something im missing? Thanks!

Hi @Sebastian Perez Ferretti 

Thank you for contacting Atlassian Community, my name is Norbert and I'm a Bitbucket Cloud Support Engineer, it's nice to meet with you! 

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Maven, but when I was reading about it, I found it out that there are two fields need to be added in the settings.xml file to be able to connect:

<properties>
  <project.scm.id>my-scm-server</project.scm.id>
</properties>

<settings>  
   <servers>  
      <server>
         <id>my-scm-server</id>  
         <username>myUser</username>  
         <password>myPassword</password>  
      </server>   
   </servers>
</settings>

Can you try to do the configuration as it's mentioned in this page and let me know if that helps?

I'm looking forward to hear from you.
