401/403 Authentication Errors

Error: Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://jfrog.ford.com/artifactory/gradle-distributions/gradle-8.5-bin.zip

• Possible Reasons: Wrong gradle wrapper credentials, GRADLE_OPTS environment variable not set up correctly, or not enough permissions.

• Troubleshoot:

  1. Use curl to see if you can download the artifact (from OS level terminal/cmd prompt):
     • curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" "url-to-artifacts-file"

     curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" "https://jfrog.ford.com/artifactory/external-proxy-group/org/hibernate/hibernate-validator-parent/5.0.3.Final/hibernate-validator-parent-5.0.3.Final.pom"

  • If result is success, then check your environment variables configuration. See Local Environment Configuration for details.
  2. Run gradle build cmd with wrapper parameters (from OS level terminal/cmd prompt):

  gradlew -Dgradle.wrapperUser=<CDSID>@ford.com -Dgradle.wrapperPassword=<TOKEN> clean build

  • If result is success, then check your build environment configuration. See Codespace Configuration for details.

    • Hardcode the jfrog credentials in your settings.gradle and/or build.gradle and rebuild - testing purpose only.
    • Make sure repositories { and gradleBoost { code blocks are in your build.gradle file and rebuild. See example below:

  // optional, depends on your project
  repositories {
      maven {
          url repositoryUrlProxy // ex. repositoryUrlProxy could be https://jfrog.ford.com/artifactory/external-proxy-group/
          credentials{
              username=System.getenv("ARTIFACTORY_USER")
              password=System.getenv("ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD")
          }
      }
      maven {
          url repositoryUrlPublic // ex. repositoryUrlPublic could be https://jfrog.ford.com/artifactory/public-maven-ford/
          credentials{
              username=System.getenv("ARTIFACTORY_USER")
              password=System.getenv("ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD")
          }
      }
  }
  
  // optional, depends on your project
  gradleBoost {
      dependencies {
          defaultRepositories = {}
      }
  }
