Erlend Garåsen commented on CONNECTORS-661:
-------------------------------------------
I think this is related to Resin anyway. If Resin's own authentication methods
are enabled, any password-protected paths will become invisible/transparent to
Apache when mod_caucho is enabled and configured:
http://www.caucho.com/resin-4.0/admin/security.xtp
I managed to reproduce this by installing Resin, mod_caucho and Apache on a
Linux server. In resin.xml I enabled basic authentication, and here are the
results:
1. (Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Unix) Resin/4.0.27)
curl -vvv -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -H "Expect: 100-continue"
--data-binary "<xml/>" -k -i http://ridder.uio.no/solr/update/
> <xml/>HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
< HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
2. (Server: Resin/4.0.27)
>
> <xml/>HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
I will now report this behaviour to Resin. For us, the workaround will probably
be to implement basic authentication in httpd.conf instead of resin.xml. I
tried that, and it works (only one HTTP status response). So, Karl, I agree,
this ticket can be closed since it is not directly related to MCF. I will
reopen it if we're still getting problems with Solr posting after we have
changed our authentication configuration.

> Key: CONNECTORS-661
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-661
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Lucene/SOLR connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.1.1
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.2
>
>
> The Solr connector cannot deal with Solr servers that are protected by
> authentication. The reason is that HttpClient forces a retry based on the
> WWW-authenticate header that is returned, but the HttpEntity is not
> resettable and thus the retry fails for that reason.
> This is a regression, because the Solr connector used to properly support
> basic auth, and now no longer does.
