Please chk if it is not due to 6.5 which is fixed in 6.6

Adding a Basic Authentication user fails with 404

[David Parker]

Hello,

I am running a stand-alone instance of Solr 6.5 (without ZooKeeper).  I am
attempting to implement Basic Authentication per the documentation, but
when I try to use the API to add a user, I get a 404 error.  It seems the
/admin/authentication API entry point isn't there:

$ curl --user solr:SolrRocks http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authentication
-H 'Content-type:application/json' -d '{"set-user": {"myuser" :
"mypasswd"}}'



Error 404 Not Found

HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /solr/admin/authentication. Reason:
Not Found



But according to the documentation, the API entry point is
admin/authentication, and it states the following:

"This endpoint is not collection-specific, so users are created for the
entire Solr cluster. If users need to be restricted to a specific
collection, that can be done with the authorization rules."

The only thing which stands out to me is "users are created for the entire
Solr cluster."  Is this entry point missing because I'm running Solr
stand-alone?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

- Dave
