> I ran the following command to enable basic auth for my Solr installation:
> {code}
> bin/solr auth enable -type basicAuth -prompt true -z localhost:2181 
> -blockUnknown true
> {code}
> It created the security policy with {{blockUnknown=false}}. That's an issue 
> with arg parsing in BASH (easy to fix) ... the bigger issue is the Admin UI 
> relies on getting a 401 from the backend to show login / logout but with 
> blockUnknown=false, this never shows.
> The {{auth}} utility only creates role bindings for the following predefined 
> permissions:
> {code}
>   {"name":"security-edit", "role":"admin"},
>   {"name":"collection-admin-edit", "role":"admin"},
>   {"name":"core-admin-edit", "role":"admin"}
> {code}
> The problem is when {{blockUnknown=false}}, the UI doesn't hit any endpoints 
> that trigger a 401 to cause the Admin UI to prompt for a login. I think the 
> initial {{security.json}} created by the {{auth}} tool should also include:
> {code}
>   {"name":"security-read", "role":"admin"},
>   {"name":"config-edit", "role":"admin"},
> {code}
> The {{config-edit}} is needed for the new Schema Designer UI and we shouldn't 
> allow un-authenticated users to edit configs anyway.
> With these two new permissions in place, when an un-authenticated user 
> navigates to the new Security screen, they will be redirected to login.
