What do you mean? The documentation says it clearly
{code}
This kicks in when there is any request going on between 2 Solr nodes. It is
enabled only when the Authentication plugin does not wish to handle inter-node
security (only BasicAuthPlugin as of now)
{code}
If your AuthenticationPlugin implements {{HttpClientInterceptorPlugin}}, it can
handle security of internode requests

bq.Relying on every Authentication plugin to secure the internode communication
is error prone.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9541
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Affects Versions: 5.3, 6.0
> Reporter: Hrishikesh Gadre
>
> SOLR-7849 introduced PKI based authentication mechanism for internode
> communication. The main reason for introducing SOLR-7849 was,
> >> Relying on every Authentication plugin to secure the internode
> >> communication is error prone.
> At Cloudera we are using Kerberos protocol for all communication without any
> issues (i.e. between client/server as well as server/server). We should make
> this internode authentication mechanism configurable (with default as PKI
> based mechanism). This will allow users to decide the appropriate
> authentication mechanism based on their security requirements.
