Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-4470:
-----------------------------------
One comment
By adding a parameter to the utiliy methods without leaving the old signature
in place, you break back-compat with people using the old signature.
{code}
- public UpdateResponse add(SolrInputDocument doc, int commitWithinMs) throws
SolrServerException, IOException {
+ public UpdateResponse add(SolrInputDocument doc, int commitWithinMs,
AuthCredentials authCredentials) throws SolrServerException, IOException {
{code}
We should either ADD the new methods or simply skip adding this to convenience
signatures. Users wanting auth can do so with the other (more elaborate)
technique, they do not *need* a convenience method for auth.
{code}
UpdateRequest req = new UpdateRequest();
req.add(doc);
req.setAuthCredentials(authCredentials);
{code}
One can argue that commitWithin is something most users want to / should use
while auth will be more of a a corner case.

> 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.
