Description

### Current Behavior

I'm using dependencytrack/apiserver:4.13.4 and trying to integrate OSS Index. I've set the following environment variables in my docker-compose.yml:

yaml
environment:
- ossindex.api.username=s*********@abc.io
- ossindex.api.token=ce9*************************1e5

Despite this, the API server returns a 401 Unauthorized when attempting to connect to OSS Index.
log:
**dtrack-apiserver-1 | 2025-10-01 21:31:38,351 ERROR [OssIndexAnalysisTask] HTTP Status : 401 Unauthorized [eventToken=162f128d-3276-40d3-8448-aa6789876b99, projectName=300925-2, vulnAnalysisLevel=BOM_UPLOAD_ANALYSIS, projectUuid=6ddb9fd5-351a-4e58-93db-ec2db494397f, projectVersion=1.0]

I’ve verified the credentials work in https://ossindex.sonatype.org/rest
I’ve also restarted the container after updating the environment variables.

Is there something I’m missing in the configuration, or is this a known issue with version 4.13.4?

Thanks in advance!
