Enable Docker Bearer Token Realm as generally outlined in Realms

Question

As per the Nexus 3.x docx, "You also need to enable the Docker Bearer Token Realm as generally outlined in Realms. This realm is inactive by default"

Does anyone know how to make this bearer token active?

Answer 1

Note just in case: the docker bearer token was added in nexus 3.6.0 in 2017 and will not be available if your are running an older version. Anyhow, I strongly suggest to run an up-to-date version of nexus.

Once logged in nexus with an admin account, 5 easy steps illustrated in the below screenshot:

1. click on the server administration gear on top
2. select security > realms on the left menu
3. select Docker Bearer Token Realm in the list of available realms
4. click the right arrow to pass it to the active side
5. save
