maven 2.2.1 does not work with basic-auth

[Harsch, Timothy J. (ARC-SC)[PEROT SYSTEMS]]

I am having difficulty connecting to Artifactory repo that requires basic-auth. 
 If the basic-auth is removed, mvn happily builds.  But if in place it can't 
fetch any resources.



I believe I have my settings correct, I have supplied them like so:



            <server>

                  <id>mirror1</id>

                  <username>admin</username>

                  <configuration>

                    <authenticationInfo>

                      <userName>tharsch</userName>

                      <password><![CDATA[someCr3pticPassword]]></password>

                    </authenticationInfo>

                  </configuration>

            </server>





On a whim I changed password to passWord. if I do it says "Unable to apply 
wagon configuration". Good, so if I don't see that then I have the tags 
correct. When correct, I see "[WARNING] Unable to get resource 'XXX' from 
repository artifactory (YYY/artifactory/repo): Authorization failed: Access 
denied to: XXX". At this point I think it must be a Maven bug.



I can take the URL supplied in the message paste it to my browser, supply my 
credentials and download just fine.



Any suggestions?



Thanks,

Tim
