Hello Team, In previous Solr versions, afaik examples post tool did not support Kerberos (have not checked Solr 9.x), so each time a customer asked about the Apache Solr tutorial I recommended them to use curl command as it works with/without kerberos (curl --negotiate ....). There are some curls that do not support Kerberos (anaconda curl), but the linux distro default supports it. Yes, I work with kerberized Solr :-)
