Authentication

The podman-maven-plugin currently supports one method of authentication, which is by providing authentication details via the Maven settings file.

Maven Settings

Before you start using this plugin, you must configure the registries in your Maven settings file. The first step of podman-maven-plugin, before any of the goals is executed, is to authenticate you with all the registries that are configured in your pom.xml.

The id of the server must match the registries configured in the plugin (see below). The plugin will fail if credentials are missing for any of the provided registries.

This plugin will also fail if there are no registries configured, but authentication is not skipped. Please refer to the table below for all configuration options.
