Description

Steps to re-create issue:

• Deploy Archiva in Tomcat, then start tomcat
• Access Archiva in browser and set the required configurations
• Add A Managed Repository with the following configuration:
• id: snapshots
• name: snapshots
• url: snapshots (it would have the value http://localhost:[PORT]/archiva/repository/snapshots)
• directory: snapshots
• Go to User Management and add the Repository Observer role for the 'snapshots' repo to the current user
• Open a new tab in your browser then type the webdav URL: http://localhost:[PORT]/archiva/repository/snapshots
• Supply the user credentials for the 'snapshots' repository. You still wouldn't be able to access it even if you supply the correct credentials.

Also, the following error shows up in the Archiva logs when you try to build a Maven project with your settings.xml file configured to use the repositories in archiva:
