Getting authentication error while downloading node distribution from company artficatory

I tried using below two node plugins in my gradle build -

`id "com.moowork.node" version "1.3.1" `

and

` id "com.github.node-gradle.node" version "2.2.1" `

and this is how my gradle file looks like -

      ```
 buildscript {
      repositories {
        maven{
          url "http://artifactory.xxx.xxxxx/artifactory/plugins-release"
          credentials {
            username = "${artifact_user}"
            password = "${artifact_password}"
          }
        }
      }
      dependencies {
        classpath "com.moowork.gradle:gradle-node-plugin:0.12"
      }
    } 
    apply plugin: "java"
        apply plugin: "com.moowork.node"
        node {
          version = '12.13.0'
          npmVersion = '6.12.0'
          distBaseUrl = 'http://username:password**@artifactory.xxx.xxxx/artifactory/node-repo/'
          download = true
          
        }

but when I run nodeSetup task using gradle nodeSetup command, getting below error -

> Could not resolve org.nodejs:node:12.13.0.
           > Could not get resource 'http://artifactory.xxxx.xxxxxxx/artifactory/node-repo/v12.13.0/node-v12.13.0-win-x64.zip'.
              > Could not HEAD 'http://artifactory..xxxx.xxxxxxx/artifactory/node-repo/v12.13.0/node-v12.13.0-win-x64.zip'. Received status code 401 from server: Unauthorized

I have verified the username and password. The same artifactory url with username]/password embedded in it works fine in the browser or postman, but getting authentication error in gradle build. Please advice.

Start with the build.gradle node configuration and the gradle nodeSetup command shown in the report. Inspect how the plugin handles the authenticated distBaseUrl request, then reproduce the 401 response against the listed Artifactory URL. Done means nodeSetup can download node-v12.13.0-win-x64.zip successfully using the configured credentials.
