Security and Deployment Settings

 Repositories to deploy to are defined in a project in the <distributionManagement> section. However, you cannot put
 your username, password, or other security settings in that project. For that reason, you should add a server
 definition to your own settings with an id that matches that of the deployment repository in the project.

 In addition, some repositories may require authorisation to download from, so the corresponding settings can be
 specified in a server element in the same way.

 Which settings are required will depend on the type of repository you are deploying to. As of the first release,
 only SCP deployments and file deployments are supported by default, so only the following SCP
 configuration is needed:

<settings>

  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>repo1</id>
      <username>repouser</username>
      <!-- other optional elements:
        <password>my_login_password</password>
        <privateKey>/path/to/identity</privateKey> (default is ~/.ssh/id_dsa)
        <passphrase>my_key_passphrase</passphrase>
      -->
    </server>
  </servers>
  .
  .
</settings>
