I've found ant to be a bit picky about which options are fed to the VM. Instead of passing on the command line, try setting environment variable ANT_OPTS, which definitely get passed to the Ant JVM, which is what runs ivy.

In beautiful ascii art: Client (ivy) <--> (Apache HTTPD server) <--> Nexus server The HTTPD server requires client authentication via signed certificates before it will pass the connection on to the Nexus server (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html#allclients). I know how to get my browser to work with this setup (simply import a certificate signed by the CA cert referenced by SSLCACertificateFile inside the httpd.conf), but I don't know how to get this to work with Ivy retrieve. I've tried using the "javax.net.ssl.*" options, i.e: ant -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/tmp/test.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=secret -buildfile myBuildFile.xml ... and: ant -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/tmp/test.jks-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=secret -buildfile myBuildFile.xml .. but neither of these work. I've tried creating a keystore and putting inside the users' .ssh directory, but no joy. I've also tried simply copying the signed certificate into the users' .ssh directory, but again no joy. Is it possible to use certificates for client authentication with Ivy? If so, how? -- Regards, Adrian Howchin This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.
