To configure authentication to the CLM Server, you will need to add your Sonatype CLM Server information to your Maven settings.xml file:

<settings>
   ...
   <servers>
      <server>
         <id>clm_server</id>
         <username>my__clm_login</username>
         <password>my_clm_password</password>
     </server>
     ...
   </servers>
   ...
</setting>

	In our example we have not encrypted our password. This is generally recommended. The Apache Maven project provides instructions for password encryption. Additionally, username and password can still be specified at the command line, and will be used in place of these settings.
