-------------------------------------
Hi [~lmccay]
thanks for reviewing.
The Solr API doesn't support authentication at all - therefore I want Knox to
do the authentication itself using Basic credentials.
On the opposite case, I don't want requests to go to Solr unless authentication
by Knox.
I looked at what the different options were for authentication and found three;
- Anonymous
- Hadoop
- Shiro
I though Anonymous would mean no additional Authentication after Knox did the
basic credential check, and I'll confess I wan't sure what Hadoop was (Shiro
seems obvious - delegate authentication to Shiro).
So is the right approach in this case not to specify the "authentication"
policy?
