How to resolve project library via own mvn repository (artifactory) - intellij-idea

Question

How can I link an maven repository that we set up internally with my Intellij?
In the project libraries view, I am able to add a new project library that resides in the standard maven reppositories but I do not see how to point IntelliJ to a specifiy maven repository, for example the artifactory that we set up for the company.
Settings.xml is also not recognized by Intellij. I post the settings.xml afterwards, it's not recognized though (password, username and company name have been replaced) :
<settings>
<servers>
<server>
<username>USER</username>
<password>PW</password>
<id>central</id>
</server>
</servers>
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
<url>
https://dev.mycompany.com:8443/artifactory/any
</url>
<id>central</id>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
<profiles>
<profile>
<repositories>
<repository>
<snapshots />
<id>central</id>
<url>
https://dev.mycompany.com:8443/artifactory/libs
</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<snapshots />
<id>central</id>
<url>
https://dev.mycompany.com:8443/artifactory/plugins
</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
<id>artifactory</id>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>artifactory</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
</settings>

IntelliJ uses repositories from pom.xml for your maven project and settings.xml, your maven configuration file. In order to get dependencies from repote repository and by not adding pom.xml, I believe you should define repository in settings file.
By default, this file is located in your home folder like {home}/.m2/settings.xml
Try add this configuration:
<settings>
...
<profiles>
...
<profile>
<id>myprofile</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my-repo2</id>
<name>your custom repo</name>
<url>http://jarsm2.dyndns.dk</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
...
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>myprofile</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
...
</settings>
Also remember that you should either use profile while using maven or make it active by default. See more information here
