AFAIK, there is no good solution.
In Tycho, we are hacking credentials into the registry on access of a repository. We use a special IProvisioningAgent instance for this with own
I*RepositoryManager instances to do this transparently.
For details, start at the class RemoteAgent in the
Tycho sources.

Subject: Re: [p2-dev] Authority component in a p2 repository URI
Hi Ian,
I had a similar requirement and what I ended up doing was modifying DirectorApplication to supply credentials via UIServices. E.g.,
private class AvoidTrustPromptService extends UIServices {
@Override
public AuthenticationInfo getUsernamePassword(String location) {
return authenticationMap.get(location);
}
...
I populate the authenticationMap through custom command-line arguments or a properties file; e.g.:
...
authenticationMap.put(location, new UIServices.AuthenticationInfo(username, password, false));
...
Where location is your repository URL's hostname.
I couldn't find any other reasonable way for doing this in DirectorApplication. Frankly I was surprised that this wasn't a more common use-case for it -- I would think that authenticated repositories would be more commonly used in automation scenarios.

I'm trying to access a p2 repository using the following syntax:

From the stack, it appears that ECF is trying to use 'irbull' as the host and password@localhost as the port. In HttpClientFileSystemBrowse, the URI is converted to a String, and
the string is parsed into components (host, port, etc..). Does anybody know if this is supported? If not, is there a URI syntax that we use for specifying usernames and passwords in p2?
Cheers,
Ian
