Re: [rules-users] HTTP 401 Unauthorized when using KIE API on Workbench M2 repository

Anyone have any ideas on this? I have some new information: just to check if my preemptive authentication configuration in settings.xml worked at all, I set my KIE module as a dependency on a project and used command line Maven 3.2.1 to compile. It successfully authenticated with the Workbench Maven repository and downloaded the module into my local Maven repository. I had Fiddler log the HTTP requests and saw that the requests to the Workbench repo had the basic authentication request header, as I expected. So any ideas on why the request generated by the API (Aether?) wouldn't have this header? It seems like it's not picking up the preemptive authentication settings.

My code is the following and fails on the second line with an exception that says something like module not found. I see the more specific 401 error in the local Maven repository in the resolver-status.properties file. KieServices ks = KieServices.Factory.get(); KieContainer kContainer = ks.newKieContainer(ks.newReleaseId("com.hp.pa.sample", "realestate", "LATEST")); I've tried putting in my settings.xml file both suggestions in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059584#c4 (also saw the preemptive one in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1037556 and other threads/forums and bug reports), but I continue to get the same error. I did some further investigation using Fiddler and I see that the credentials are not being included in the HTTP request the code sends for resources in the Workbench Maven repository. I was expecting the basic authentication header to be in here. The HTTP request always looks like this (server name changed for security reasons): GET http://kiewbserver:8080/kie-drools-wb/maven2/com/hp/pa/sample/realestate/... HTTP/1.1 Host: kiewbserver:8080 Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store Accept-Encoding: gzip Connection: keep-alive Connection: keep-alive Accept: */* User-Agent: Aether And the response is a typical HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized with the standard JBoss error page as the body. Using the composer feature in Fiddler, if I issue this same request with the basic authentication header included, it works, returning an HTTP 200 response with the requested file. If I remove the authentication requirement from the Maven repository using the workaround described in bug 1059584 (referenced above), all my code works fine. I followed the procedure to create a user for the Workbench on JBoss AS that is demonstrated in the start of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj3MNmiUnvY. That's the user whose credentials I've tried putting in my settings.xml. Is there anything else that needs to be done on the server side? Any other ideas on what I may have missed or how to debug this further? Thank you, Ronak Patel Software Designer HP Autonomy
