Create proxy repository in API UI fails due to password missing from Authentication JSON

Customer is using the REST API to create APT proxy repository. Using the API tool in the Nexus UI an error is thrown indicating that field password may not be empty and the request fails with a 400 response. There is no password field in the JSON provided when you try out the command in the API UI.

Using the following with a password field added does work:

"authentication":

{ "type": "username", "username": "myname", "password": "pwd", "ntlmHost": "string", "ntlmDomain": "string" }

This does not appear to be specific to creating APT proxy as other formats also seem to be missing this field in the sample JSON.

Please update the JSON for any formats missing this field.
