### Method details

#### `void` `authentication`(``Action`<? super `AuthenticationContainer`>` action)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

This method executes the given action against the `AuthenticationContainer` for this project. The `AuthenticationContainer` is passed to the closure as the closure's delegate.

If no authentication schemes have been assigned to this repository, a default set of authentication schemes are used based on the repository's transport scheme.

    repositories {
        maven {
            url "${url}"
            authentication {
                basic(BasicAuthentication)
            }
        }
    }

Supported authentication scheme types extend `Authentication`.

#### `void` `credentials`(``Class`<`T`>` credentialsType, ``Action`<? super `T`>` action)

Note: This method is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

Configures the credentials for this repository using the supplied action.

If no credentials have been assigned to this repository, an empty set of credentials of the specified type will be assigned to this repository and given to the configuration action. If credentials have already been specified for this repository, they will be passed to the given configuration action.

    repositories {
        maven {
            url "${url}"
            credentials(AwsCredentials) {
                accessKey "myAccessKey"
                secretKey "mySecret"
            }
        }
    }

The following credential types are currently supported for the `credentialsType` argument:

- `PasswordCredentials`
- `AwsCredentials`

#### `void` `credentials`(``Action`<? super `PasswordCredentials`>` action)

            url "${url}"
            credentials {
                username = 'joe'
