Answer 1

Define your repo with an id:

 mavenRepo(id:'myrepo', url:"http://localhost:8085/artifactory/libs-release-local/") 

Then define your credentials in ~/.grails/settings.groovy using the previously specified id:

grails.project.dependency.authentication = {
  credentials {
    id = "myrepo"
    username = "foo"
    password = "bar"
  } 
}
