Credentials error when publishing in Nexus with Ivy - ant

Question

I tried to found a solution to my problem in the publishing post but I couldn't find anything (neither in stackoverflow nor in google)
I'm trying to publishing some artifacts to Nexus using IVY but I'm obtaining credentials error.
In my ivysettings.xml I defined the credentials tag, but it's not working fine (I tried to put the concrete user and pass and doesn't work). If I put the /nexus in the host value as follows:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="nexus"/>
<credentials host="${host}/nexus" realm="Nexus Repository Manager"
username="${user}" passwd="${pass}"/>
<property name="nexus-public" value="${nexus.url}/content/groups/public"/>
<property name="nexus-releases" value="${nexus.url}/content/repositories/releases"/>
<property name="nexus-snapshots" value="${nexus.url}/content/repositories/ricrepo/"/>
<property name="nexus-other" value="${nexus.url}/content/repositories/releases/"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="nexus" m2compatible="true" usepoms="false" root="${nexus-public}"/>
<ibiblio name="nexus-releases" m2compatible="true" root="${nexus-releases}"/>
<ibiblio name="nexus-other" m2compatible="true" root="${nexus-other}"/>
<ibiblio name="nexus-snapshots" m2compatible="true" root="${nexus-snapshots}" checkmodified="true"
changingPattern="*-SNAPSHOT"/>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
${host} it's just ${nexus.url} without https:// prefix and without /nexus at the end
And the error is:
[ivy:publish] INFO: Authentication requested but doAuthentication is disabled
Access to URL MYURL was refused by the server
Where MYURL is my complete URL with the repository (so it is resolving well the name...I think)
If I delete de /nexus from the host value (ivysettings would be as follows)
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="nexus"/>
<credentials host="${host}" realm="Nexus Repository Manager"
username="${user}" passwd="${pass}"/>
<property name="nexus-public" value="${nexus.url}/content/groups/public"/>
<property name="nexus-releases" value="${nexus.url}/content/repositories/releases"/>
<property name="nexus-snapshots" value="${nexus.url}/content/repositories/ricrepo/"/>
<property name="nexus-other" value="${nexus.url}/content/repositories/releases/"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="nexus" m2compatible="true" usepoms="false" root="${nexus-public}"/>
<ibiblio name="nexus-releases" m2compatible="true" root="${nexus-releases}"/>
<ibiblio name="nexus-other" m2compatible="true" root="${nexus-other}"/>
<ibiblio name="nexus-snapshots" m2compatible="true" root="${nexus-snapshots}" checkmodified="true"
changingPattern="*-SNAPSHOT"/>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
The error is:
[ivy:publish] INFO: No credentials available for BASIC 'Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager'
Access to URL MYURL was refused by the server
Please, anyone could help me?
Thanks in advance!

Try setting the realm to "Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager":
<credentials host="${host}" realm="Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager" username="${user}" passwd="${pass}"/>
