Lamine created SOLR-17247:
-----------------------------

             Summary: 'WWW-Authenticate' headers missing in MultiAuthPlugin
                 Key: SOLR-17247
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17247
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Authentication
            Reporter: Lamine


MultiAuthPlugin does not return WWW-Authenticate' headers

When returning a 401 response a Web application needs to indicate to the client 
what authentication challenges it supports, otherwise an exception like 
"{_}HTTP protocol violation: Authentication challenge without WWW-Authenticate 
header{_}“ is raised.

Solr’s MultiAuthPlugin does not supports this.  Solr should return the list of 
supported schemes (challenges).

 

According to HTTP [RFC 
7235|https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7235#section-3.1]:

_The 401 (Unauthorized) status code indicates that the request has not_
_been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for_
_the target resource. The server generating a 401 response *MUST* send_
_a WWW-Authenticate header field ([Section 
4.1|https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7235#section-4.1]) containing at 
least one_
_challenge applicable to the target resource._
