How To Allow Remote Access To .nexus/attributes Files

Visit my.sonatype.com for documentation on Nexus Repository version 2.

Nexus Repository 2.11.2 and greater will return HTTP status 404 Not Found for content paths under .nexus/attributes. To allow serving these files:

  1. Edit ${NEXUS_INSTALL_DIR}/conf/nexus.properties. Add a property on a new line:
    nexus.content.attributeAccessEnabled=true
  2. Start or restart Nexus Repository 2 for the changes to take effect. Requests for content paths which start with /.nexus/attributes/ will be allowed if the requesting user has read access to the targeted repository item.
