Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8429:
-----------------------------------
bq. I'm kinda against any rule which requires a user to read documentation to
understand. The rule of thumb is if a user looks at the security.json he should
have enough idea on what could happen.
Agree, but how can a user reading this {{security.json}}
{code}
{"authentication": {"class": "solr.BasicAuthPlugin", "credentials": {"solr":
"i9buKe/RhJV5bF/46EI9xmVVYyrnbg9zXf+2FrFwcy0= OTg3"}}}
{code}
...have any clue that absolutely nothing will be protected -- unless that was
the default? On the other hand, if he saw {{"blockUnknown":false}} in there,
he'd be explicitly warned that it is necessary to cover every single path in
{{AutorizationPlugin}}
Related: Should we protect the user against locking herself out, i.e. throw
exception if {{blockUnknown}} is set through API before there are any
registered users?

> If authentication is setup with BasicAuthPlugin, it let's all requests go
> through if no credentials are passed. This was done to have minimal impact
> for users who only wishes to protect a few end points (say , collection admin
> and core admin only)
> We can add a flag to {{BasicAuthPlugin}} to allow only authenticated requests
> to go in
> the users can create the first security.json with that flag
> {code}
> server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -z localhost:9983 -cmd put
> /security.json '{"authentication": {"class": "solr.BasicAuthPlugin",
> "blockUnknown": true,
> "credentials": {"solr": "orwp2Ghgj39lmnrZOTm7Qtre1VqHFDfwAEzr0ApbN3Y=
> Ju5osoAqOX8iafhWpPP01E5P+sg8tK8tHON7rCYZRRw="}}}'
> {code}
> or add the flag later
> using the command
> {code}
> curl http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authentication -H
> 'Content-type:application/json' -d '{
> {set-property:{blockUnknown:true}
