David Webster commented on SOLR-4470:
-------------------------------------
Just a few clarifying comments. Yes, likewise with this patch, we only did a
very minor mod to the sending side. However, we have a fairly complicated way
of getting the credentials to place on the outbound side, if they were not
valid. That required binding in a custom jar (as opposed to touching
additional core SOLR code) containing the logic about how to interact with our
SiteMinder and CyberArk infrastructure to get those. Other than that, we made
no mods to receive, that's all a Tomcat JAASLoginModule, nothing to do with
SOLR.
Hopefully they rethink their plan of moving to a standalone implementation of
some sort, because we are quite confident now we will have little trouble
moving from version to version in the future, as the small change to core code
is in a place that should never change.

> We want to protect any HTTP-resource (url). We want to require credentials no
> matter what kind of HTTP-request you make to a Solr-node.
> It can faily easy be acheived as described on
> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity. This problem is that Solr-nodes
> also make "internal" request to other Solr-nodes, and for it to work
> credentials need to be provided here also.
> Ideally we would like to "forward" credentials from a particular request to
> all the "internal" sub-requests it triggers. E.g. for search and update
> request.
> But there are also "internal" requests
> * that only indirectly/asynchronously triggered from "outside" requests (e.g.
> shard creation/deletion/etc based on calls to the "Collection API")
> * that do not in any way have relation to an "outside" "super"-request (e.g.
> replica synching stuff)
> We would like to aim at a solution where "original" credentials are
> "forwarded" when a request directly/synchronously trigger a subrequest, and
> fallback to a configured "internal credentials" for the
> asynchronous/non-rooted requests.
> In our solution we would aim at only supporting basic http auth, but we would
> like to make a "framework" around it, so that not to much refactoring is
> needed if you later want to make support for other kinds of auth (e.g. digest)
> We will work at a solution but create this JIRA issue early in order to get
> input/comments from the community as early as possible.
