azure-storage-wagon: Server failed to authenticate... Make sure ... Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature

Question

When trying to follow the instructions at this link, I am getting an authentication failure from azure-storage-wagon lib.

Here is how I configured my pom.xml :

  <distributionManagement>
    <snapshotRepository>
      <id>my-repo-bucket-snapshot</id>
      <url>http://stacctname99.blob.core.windows.net/snapshot</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
    <repository>
      <id>my-repo-bucket-release</id>
      <url>http://stacctname99.blob.core.windows.net/release</url>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>

And, in my .m2/settings.xml, I configured it like so:

<servers>
<server>
    <id>my-repo-bucket-snapshot</id>
    <username>stacctname99</username>
    <password>XXrO5jvcWjtTcW/........MPrLIJsvb7A0Na3VK/Tg==</password>
</server>
<server>
    <id>my-repo-bucket-release</id>
    <username>stacctname99</username>
    <password>XXrO5jvcWjtTcW/.......MPrLIJsvb7A0Na3VK/Tg==</password>
</server>
</servers>

And here is the error that I get on mvn deploy . It makes me wonder if I shouldn't use a https/http url?

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.8.2:deploy (default-deploy) on project storage-wagon-poc: Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact com.st.azure:storage-wagon-poc:jar:1.0-20220518.171854-1 from/to my-repo-bucket-snapshot (http://stacctname99.blob.core.windows.net/snapshot): authorization failed for http://stacctname99.blob.core.windows.net/snapshot/com/st/azure/storage-wagon-poc/1.0-SNAPSHOT/storage-wagon-poc-1.0-20220518.171854-1.jar, status: 403 Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature.

NOTE1: My storage account does not require https. My storage account is public access to both blobs and container. In debug mode, this azure-storage-wagon extension does not show me the header it sends in the request. How would you troubleshoot? Do you see a typo in my setup? The GitHub repo does not allow creating a new issue.

NOTE2: The lib seems to be looking for 6 env variables: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/83f62af66b349c4dc663489570ad78f97dfee2b1/sdk/identity/azure-identity/src/main/java/com/azure/identity/EnvironmentCredential.java BUT I am unsure where to find some of those values since the storageapp in azure portal does not just show them to you.
