Why can't I upload the artifact to archiva (unauthorized), but I can upload it using admin?
I have been working with archiva for about a year,
I download my jars manually using the archiva GUI and it works great.
Now I want to download the maven deployment artifact, the problem is I am getting 401-Unauthorized . Do not forget that:
1.) I can download from this repository without any problem.
2.) I am using admin user.
3.) I can download with this user manually.
this is the log I am getting:

This must be because you have not configured Maven to use the Archiva username and password to download artifacts during the deployment phase.
I am assuming you have already set up a distributionManagement section in your pom file.
<distributionManagement>
<snapshotRepository>
<id>snapshots</id>
<name>Internal Snapshots</name>
<url>http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9080/archiva/repository/snapshots/</url>
</snapshotRepository>
<repository>
<id>releases</id>
<name>Internal Releases</name>
<url>http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9080/archiva/repository/releases</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
You must have servers with matching IDs in your Maven settings file (like in the example below) in order to configure the username / password that maven should use when uploading (deploying) artifacts
<settings>
<servers>
<server>
<id>snapshots</id>
<username>archiva-user</username>
<password>archiva-pwd</password>
</server>
<server>
<id>releases</id>
<username>archiva-user</username>
<password>archiva-pwd</password>
</server>
</servers>
</settings>
