Hrishikesh Gadre updated SOLR-9541:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
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.
