UI Upload Redirects to 404 or Authentication Prompt After Component Upload

Updated

Problem 

After uploading a component via the Nexus Repository Manager UI, users may encounter the following unexpected behavior:

  • Before version 3.80: The UI prompts the user to re-authenticate.

  • Since version 3.80: The UI shows “404 RESOURCE NOT FOUND” immediately after the upload.

Despite the confusing experience, the component does upload successfully. This is a permission-related issue and does not affect the integrity of the upload or the repository.

Since 3.80:

Possible causes

After a successful upload, the UI automatically redirects the user to the component search page. If the user lacks the nx-search-read privilege, the redirected request fails:

  • In versions before 3.80, this causes an authentication prompt.

  • In versions 3.80 and above, it results in a 404 error.

This behavior occurs regardless of the component format.

Solution 

Grant the user the nx-search-read privilege to allow access to the search page after uploads.

To resolve:

  1. Navigate to Security > Users in the Nexus Repository Manager.

  2. Select the affected user or role.

  3. Ensure the nx-search-read privilege is assigned.
