Marcus Eagan commented on SOLR-13649:
-------------------------------------
I've added an error in case the blockUnknown parameter is not set to make it
easier for the community to adopt this change upon upgrading.
> BasicAuth's 'blockUnknown' param should default to true

> Key: SOLR-13649
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13649
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Admin UI, Authentication, security
> Affects Versions: 7.7.2, 8.1.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Marcus Eagan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: Authentication
> Fix For: master (9.0)
>
> Time Spent: 2h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> If someone seeks to enable basic authentication but they do not specify the
> {{blockUnknown}} parameter, the default value is {{false}}. That default
> behavior is a bit counterintuitive because if someone wishes to enable basic
> authentication, you would expect that they would want all unknown users to
> need to authenticate by default. I can imagine cases where you would not, but
> those cases would be less frequent.
