Nexus credentials in Jenkins

Question

I have a Jenkins job which is supposed to build a Jar and add it to Nexus. I have configured post build action to deploy maven artifact to nexus repository.

The problem is, the nexus is expecting username and password. How would i set these in the Jenkins? I do not have access to jenkins settings.xml file. I need to pass username and password in the Jenkins job itself.

Take a look at the Config File Provider Plugin. It allows you to provide your own settings.xml for jenkins to use where you can configure all the credentials that you might need.
