----------------------------------
[~risdenk] - thanks for the response.
bq. Is it possible to have one service? There really isn't a difference between
the Solr UI and the APIs. It would be awesome to be able to visit a single Knox
endpoint for both. Below expands a bit more on the relationship between the UI
and the APIs and maybe that helps.
The problem with coupling them together is that you lose the ability to protect
the REST API independently from the UI. For example, you currently have the UI
using the anonymous provider which means Knox is delegating any authentication
to the UI itself.
If you leave the API definition in there as well then you won't be able to
expose the API independently with, say, HTTP basic auth with authentication
against LDAP. This is the most common provider use for APIs but you can also
put any number of other ones in there as well for a HTTP header based
preauthentication, etc.
