How do we generate SHA256 password for Authentication

[Shamik Bandopadhyay]

Hi,

  I'm trying to setup Authentication and Role-based authorization in Solr
5.5. Beside "Solr" user from example, I've created another user "dev". I've
used the following website to generate sha256 encoded password.

http://www.lorem-ipsum.co.uk/hasher.php

I've used password as "password" .

Here's my security.json

{
  "authentication": {
    "blockUnknown": false,
    "class": "solr.BasicAuthPlugin",
    "credentials": {
      "solr": "IV0EHq1OnNrj6gvRCwvFwTrZ1+z1oBbnQdiVC3otuq0=
Ndd7LKvVBAaZIF0QAVi1ekCfAJXr1GGfLtRUXhgrF8c=",
      "dev":"
5e884898da28047151d0e56f8dc6292773603d0d6aabbdd62a11ef721d1542d8",
    }
  },
  "authorization": {
    "class": "solr.RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin",
    "permissions": [
      {
        "name": "security-edit",
        "role": "admin"
      },
      {
        "name": "schema-edit",
        "role": "admin"
      },
      {
        "name": "config-edit",
        "role": "admin"
      },
      {
        "name": "collection-admin-edit",
        "role": "admin"
      },
      {
        "name": "all-admin",
        "collection": null,
        "path": "/*",
        "role": "adminAllRole"
      },
      {
        "name": "all-core-handlers",
        "path": "/*",
        "role": "adminAllHandler"
      },
      {
        "name": "update",
        "role": "updateRole"
      },
      {
        "name": "read",
        "role": "readRole"
      },
      {
        "name": "browse",
        "collection": "gettingstarted",
        "path": "/browse",
        "role": "browseRole"
      },
      {
        "name": "select",
        "collection": "gettingstarted",
        "path": "/select/*",
        "role": "selectRole"
      }
    ],
    "user-role": {
      "solr": [
        "admin",
        "adminAllRole",
        "adminAllHandler",
        "updateRole"
      ],
      "dev": [
        "readRole"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Here's what I'm doing.
1. I started Solr in Cloud mode "solr start -e cloud -noprompt"
2. zkcli.bat -zkhost localhost:9983 -cmd putfile /security.json
security.json
3. tried http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/browse , provided
dev/password but I'm getting the following exception:

[c:gettingstarted s:shard2 r:core_node3 x:gettingstarted_shard2_replica2]
org.apache.solr.servlet.HttpSolrCall; USER_REQUIRED auth header Basic
c29scjpTb2xyUm9ja3M= context : userPrincipal: [[principal: solr]] type:
[UNKNOWN], collections: [gettingstarted,], Path: [/browse] path : /browse
params :

Looks like I'm using the wrong way of generating the password.
solr/SolrRocks works as expected.

Also, sure what's wrong with the "readRole" . It doesn't seem to work when
I try with user "solr".

Any pointers will be appreciated.

-Thanks,
