Make sure the connected user account has the following permissions in the Nexus Server.
• Repo: All repositories (Read)

  1. Go to this in your equivalent in URL: https://nexus3.dev.harness.io/#admin/system/api

  4. It will then become this and show the sample call with curl and with base URL embedded

    40f31d08-ab25-49cd-861f-c67d21aa1dad965×238 37.5 KB

  5. Which for us is: https://nexus3.dev.harness.io/service/rest/v1/repositories That should be the base URL. That must work to return something else it means you do not meet the minimum requirement for it.

  6. You can check more on this here : [Repositories API]

We are dependent on these APIs to be able to interact with the system if you do not meet the minimum requirement for it then it is not possible to add Nexus artifactory to Harness.
