title: Access a Maven repository located in https
body: <p>I have a Maven project that requires some dependencies that are in a repository located behind HTTPS. I can access the URL by my browser (Firefox) as it asks me a username/password, but in Maven I get <em>Access denied</em>. </p>
  
  <p>Where can I set the username and password so that Maven can use it for that repository? This <a href="http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-repository-ssl.html" rel="noreferrer">page</a> deals with certificates and keystores, but I don't have anything like that. Do I need to know where does Firefox stores the certificate for the URL I visited?</p>
