Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8440:
-----------------------------------

Hi, sorry for the quick commit on SOLR-10644. I'm willing to revert that any 
time.

So if I'm reading you correctly [~hossman], a safer way for this is to let 
{{solr.in.sh}} still be owned by root, and print the manual instructions as 
today if we cannot write, but if {{solr auth...}} is run by root/sudo, then the 
{{solr.in.sh}} edit will succeed. Alternatively, we could always require root 
for all auth commands? Whatever we decide should be documentedt in the refGuide 
and usage.

> Now that BasicAuthPlugin will be able to work without an AuthorizationPlugin 
> (SOLR-8429), it would be sweet to provide a super simple way to "Password 
> protect Solr"™ right from the command line:
> {noformat}
> bin/solr basicAuth -adduser -user solr -pass SolrRocks
> {noformat}
> It would take the mystery out of enabling one single password across the 
> board. The command would do something like this
> # Check if HTTPS is enabled, and if not, print a friendly warning
> # Check if {{/security.json}} already exists
> ## NO => create one with only plugin class defined
> ## YES => Abort if exists but plugin is not {{BasicAuthPlugin}}
> # Using security REST API, add the new user
