Problem with publishing Jakarta Validation SNAPSHOTs to Maven Central

Summary

I'm getting

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:3.1.4:deploy (default-deploy) on project jakarta.validation-api: Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not transfer artifact jakarta.validation:jakarta.validation-api:pom:4.0.0-20251005.154822-1 from/to central-portal-snapshots (https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots): status code: 401, reason phrase: Unauthorized (401) -> [Help 1]

when trying to publish the snapshots to the Maven Central Snapshots repository.

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to run the snapshot publishing job on the Jakarta Validation CI: https://ci.eclipse.org/validation/job/jakarta-validation-api-publish-snapshot

What is the current bug behavior?

The job is failing with 401

What is the expected correct behavior?

The Jenkins build should be able to push artifacts to the snapshot repository.
