Noble Paul commented on SOLR-9541:
----------------------------------
PKIAuthenticationPlugin is cheap. But not having it initialized can show up
other errors in the rest API. The public-key is supposed to be always
unsecured. There is no vulnerability in exposing your public key
> Support configurable authentication mechanism for internode communication

> Key: SOLR-9541
> 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.
