nexus-staging-maven-plugin 401 Unauthorized

Question

I am getting a 401 Unauthorized exception from deploying the maven. Here is the relevant section of the pom file.

<!-- pom.xml -->

You must have an ID in your settings.xml file to match the ID under the distribution management. NOT ONLY the ID in the nexus plugin.

<!-- pom.xml -->
<distributionManagement>
  <snapshotRepository>
    <id>[your-nexus-base-id]</id>
    <url>[your-nexus-base-url]/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
  </snapshotRepository>
  <repository>
    <id>[your-nexus-base-id]</id>
    <url>[your-nexus-base-url]/content/repositories/releases/</url>
  </repository>
</distributionManagement>

<!-- settings.xml -->
<servers>
  <server>
    <id>[your-nexus-base-id]</id>
    <username>[username]</username>
    <password>[encrypted-password]</password>
  </server>
</servers>
