This is just a quick post…

If you are running a maven (mvn) deploy to artifactory, be it locally or through Jenkins/etc, and you get an error like this:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.8.2:deploy (default-deploy) on project sample-ws: Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact com.company.cs.sample:sample-ws:jar:3.2.2 from/to central (https://adlm.company.com/artifactory/sample-maven): Failed to transfer file https://adlm.company.com/artifactory/sample-maven/com/company/cs/sample/sample-ws/3.2.2/sample-ws-3.2.2.jar with status code 502 -> [Help 1]

You need to edit your ~/.settings.xml and add in your artifactory-user/artifactory-token (preferably for you on your own desktop and for a service account on your server).  You can generate your token in your user settings in the Aritfactory API.

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>central</id>
      <username>your-user</username>
      <password>your-token</password>
    </server>
  <server>
    <id>snapshots</id>
      <username>your-user</username>
      <password>your-token</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>
