Configuring Nexus manually

You can create the roles, users, and repositories manually.

1. Start by running Nexus.
2. Go to the Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager interface.
3. Under the Users tab, create the following users:
   • talend-updates-admin: this user is used in Talend Administration Center Configuration > Software Update group. Talend Administration Center downloads the patch from Talend Update Server and uses this account to upload the patch to Nexus. Talend Studio can download the patch from Nexus without credentials.
   • talend-custom-libs-admin: this user is used in Talend Administration Center Configuration > User Libraries group. Talend Studio gets the configuration information from Talend Administration Center to upload and download third-party libraries.
   1. Click Create local user.
   2. Write talend-updates-admin as the ID and fill the other required fields.
   3. Go to the Roles sub-section and add talend-updates-admin to the Granted list.
   4. Click Create local user.
   5. Create the user with the talend-custom-libs-admin ID.
   6. Go to the Roles sub-section and add talend-custom-libs-admin to the Granted list.
   7. Open the admin user.
   8. Add the nx-admin role to the Granted list.
   9. Open the anonymous user.
   10. Add the nx-anonymous, talend-custom-libs-release-read-only, talend-custom-libs-snapshot-read-only and talend-updates-read-only roles to the Granted list.
       Information noteNote: The anonymous user is not secure and not used in Talend Administration Center or Talend Studio. It is recommended to disable the anonymous user in Nexus.
4. Go to the Repositories tab to create the following repositories:
   • talend-updates
   • talend-custom-libs-snapshot
   • talend-custom-libs-release
   1. Click Create repository.
   2. Select maven2 (hosted) from the list.
   3. Name your repository talend-updates.
   4. Under the sub-section version policy, select Release.
   5. Click Create repository to save your changes.
   6. Create another maven2 (hosted) repository named talend-custom-libs-snapshot.
   7. Under the sub-section version policy, select snapshot.
   8. Click Create repository to save your changes.
   9. Create the last maven2 (hosted) repository and name it talend-custom-libs-release.
5. Under the sub-section version policy, select Release.
