How to resolve authentication error in npm install?

Question

In my package.json I have private repo called somerepo.git. Now I am running an npm install on a buildserver(bamboo) through maven and getting this error:

[ERROR] npm ERR! Command failed: git clone --template=/var/home/ci/.npm/_git-remotes/_templates --mirror https://somerepo.git
[ERROR] npm ERR! fatal: Authentication failed for https://somerepo.git

How can I resolve the authentication for the repository?

If you can, you should:

access the private repo through ssh
use a deploy or trusted key that you register to your Git remote hosting server, in order to allow your CI server to access it.
configure your .ssh/config file in order for npm to use the right key: see "Is there a way to specify which ssh key should be used for npm install"
