deploying .cloudmanager/maven/settings.xml without secret pipeline variable

Question

hi folks,

i want to know if it is possible to deploy <server> configuration in maven such as id username and pwd using settings.xml defined in our repo at path /.cloudmanager/maven/settings.xml

we want to make the artifacts available to anyone from the remote server without explicitly defining the secret pipeline variable which can then be read by settings.xml defined in the repo.

i am currently defining the below configuration in local settings.xml but want to move it to the cloud repo.

defining a secret pipeline variable will restrict us to first set the env variable in cloud env and then deploy - can't the deployment make sure the below config from settings.xml is merged with the default settings.xml provided by cloud manager??

<server>
    <id>test-remote-server</id>
    <username>username</username>
    <password>password</password>
</server>

let me know if the use case makes sense.

I agree setting up pipeline variable is the best and the recommended way to use password protected maven repo within cloud manager.
However, if you are simply looking for reading custom settings.xml defined in your custom codebase you can look at the build profile and maven build command.

mvn -s C:\settings.xml -gs C:\settings.xml clean install

Hi @aem_noob
I think setting up a pipeline variable as a correct way to go if you are using restricted artifactor repository.

You need to set pipeline variable just once.

you can use cloud manager API to set variable in advance using just one click
