Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-9693:
-----------------------------------
Any thoughts on this? Should we add some safeguards here?
> BasicAuthPlugin API should not allow setting blockUnknown=true if no users
> configured

> Key: SOLR-9693
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9693
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Components: security
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Labels: authentication
>
> If you use the API to configure BasicAuth, the order in which you specify
> your config matters. Currently it is possible to set the {{blockUnknown}}
> property without any users being configured, rendering Solr useless. The same
> would be the case if the last user is removed when blockUnknown is still set.
> Perhaps fail with code *409 Conflict* or something?
> More tricky is the case where BasicAuth is configured with no users, and
> someone adds an Authorization config requiring a certain user to do anything
> at all - it would also lock down Solr but since the plugins don't know about
> each other it is hard to control.
