If set to false, the filter does not do anything.

// default: true
basicAuthentication.enabled=false

realm

This is the realm to which the security applies. Most browsers display it in the dialog.

// default: Application
basicAuthentication.realm="My Special Realm"

username and password

These are the credentials that are checked. If you do not specify them, the realm is set to a value indicating that and it defaults to a random universal unique identifier for both username and password.

// default: random uuid
basicAuthentication.username=username
basicAuthentication.password=password

Make sure you have the correct credentials present (in ~/.sbt/0.13/credentials.sbt)

credentials += Credentials(Path.userHome / ".ivy2" / ".credentials") 

Then in the sbt console type release
