Mark Miller commented on SOLR-4470:
-----------------------------------
bq. always was your (single) issue with this patch, I am going to laugh my ass
off. You clearly never looked into it, never understood it and never wanted to
understand it - maybe until a few days ago (Im not sure).
No - it's not the single issue that I have - but it is the issue that would
cause me to -1 the patch. Given that some other committers have expressed some
support, it's my attempt to work with them in turning this patch into something
I am willing to accept - not neccessarily something I want as part of the code
base. That's why I say it makes it less contraversial - it doesn't make me
happy with this issue, but it's a path towards me not vetoing this issue.
IMO, all this security should be handled above Solr - I don't support this
patch. That in itself will not stop it from getting in though.
bq. I also don't agree that fixing an issue like this commits the Solr Project
to being on the hook for security, either.
I disagree with you - once we start adding code to deal with roles or
authorization or anything of the kind, that puts us on the hook - thats just
how it is and why we don't have code like that.
The code to faciliate passing internode auth - while not something I'm
interested in - is not what puts us on the hook regarding security and Solr
code.

> 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.
