  1. Create the following environment variables depending on the authentication method:

    1. Get an IAM token for the Yandex account or service account you are going to use for authentication.

    2. Create the REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD environment variables:

      export REGISTRY_USERNAME="iam"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="<IAM_token>"

      Where:

      • REGISTRY_USERNAME: Authentication method.
      • REGISTRY_PASSWORD: Body of the previously obtained IAM token.

    Note

    The IAM token's lifetime is limited to 12 hours.

    1. Get an OAuth token for the Yandex account you are going to use for authentication.

    2. Create the REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD environment variables:

      export REGISTRY_USERNAME="oauth"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="<OAuth_token>"

      Where:

      • REGISTRY_USERNAME: Authentication method.
      • REGISTRY_PASSWORD: Body of the previously obtained OAuth token.

    Note

    The OAuth token is valid for one year.

    1. Create an API key for the service account you are going to use for authentication.

    2. Create the REGISTRY_USERNAME and REGISTRY_PASSWORD environment variables:

      export REGISTRY_USERNAME="api_key"
export REGISTRY_PASSWORD="<API_key>"

      Where:

      • REGISTRY_USERNAME: Authentication method.
      • REGISTRY_PASSWORD: Body of the previously created API key.

    Note

    The API key maximum lifetime is set manually when you create the key.

  2. Open the file with the global Maven settings.

    By default, the configuration file is located in the current user's .m2 directory (~/.m2/settings.xml for Unix-like OSes and %USERPROFILE%\.m2\settings.xml for Windows). You can learn more about the configuration file structure in the Maven documentation.

  3. Add a new repository to the repositories section of the Maven settings file:

    <repository>
    <id>local</id>
    <url>registry.yandexcloud.net/maven/<registry_ID></url>
</repository>

  4. Add a new server to the servers section of the Maven settings file:

    <server>
    <id>local</id>
    <username>${env.REGISTRY_USERNAME}</username>
    <password>${env.REGISTRY_PASSWORD}</password>
</server>
