Hi
I read http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity and know a lot about
webcontainer authentication and authorization. Im sure I will be able to
set it up so that each solr-node is will require HTTP authentication for
(selected) incoming requests.
But solr-nodes also make requests among each other and Im in doubt if
credentials are forwarded from the "original request" to the internal
sub-requests?
E.g. lets say that each solr-node is set up to require authentication
for search request. An "outside" user makes a distributed request
including correct username/password. Since it is a distributed search,
the node which handles the original request from the user will have to
make sub-requests to other solr-nodes but they also require correct
credentials in order to accept this sub-request. Are the credentials
from the original request duplicated to the sub-requests or what options
do I have?
Same thing goes for e.g. update requests if they are sent to a node
which does not run (all) the replica of the shard in which the documents
to be added/updated/deleted belong. The node needs to make sub-request
to other nodes, and it will require forwarding the credentials.
Does this just work out of the box, or ... ?
