The following describes how to configure credentials for Elastic Path repositories in Nexus.

Access to the EP repositories require a valid username and password from Elastic Path. See Starting Construction Guide (Prerequisites) for more information.

When Nexus starts, click "Repositories". You will see that the EP repositories have a status of "In Service - Remote Automatically Blocked and Unavailable".

You will need to manually enter the username and password for each repository.

The steps are:

1. Select the repository from the Repositories list.
2. Click the Configuration tab
3. Click the Authentication (optional) box. This will expand the panel containing Username and Password.
4. Enter the Username and Password provided by Elastic Path
5. Click the Save button
6. Click the Refresh button. The repository status will change to "In Service" if the entered credentials are valid.
