Chris M. Hostetter commented on SOLR-15525:
-------------------------------------------
{quote}Are you going to work on 15548 before 8.10 is released?
{quote}
I dunno when/if I'll push forward on that (was trying to prod you into posting
feedback on the idea :) ) .. but in general I don't like making "plans" about
whether some change will be ready by the time a particular version is released.
Code should be committed if/when it's "ready", and backported if/when it's
"safe".
{quote}I'm dis-inclined to revert my commit (not sure if that's what you're
suggesting I do?)
{quote}
No, Not at all – just pointing out some questions/concerns/suggestions to see
how you felt about them ... "patch feedback" that just happened to be after
you already committed.
I might try to design a more robust "FineGrainedFileBasedZkACLProvider" that
automatically registers a ZkCredentialsProvider based on the ACLs in the file,
but that's no reason not to move forward with what you have done already.

> Currently, the {{VMParamsSingleSetCredentialsDigestZkCredentialsProvider}}
> and {{VMParamsAllAndReadonlyDigestZkACLProvider}} load ZK credentials from
> Java system properties. Solr should provide an alternative impl to load this
> information from a file (and maybe env vars too). This avoids leaking the
> credentials in the JVM system properties that get logged as well as shown in
> the UI.
> It would also be nice if this file could store the credentials encrypted, as
> suggested by SOLR-11655, however that requires a global encryption password
> (such as http://www.jasypt.org/) so is merely security through obscurity b/c
> anyone with shell access could track down this encryption password and
> decrypt the ZK credentials in the file. Of course every Solr node has its own
> private key for the PKI auth frmk, but that's not helpful for this problem
> because the encryption key needs to be shared among all the nodes so they can
> decrypt the ZK creds. So I'm going to skip that part for now and just
> implement loading the plain-text creds from a file.
