SOLR-12279: Reject invalid 'blockUnknown' values for 'bin/solr auth'
> Validate Boolean "bin/solr auth" Inputs
> ---------------------------------------

> The "auth" command in the {{bin/solr}} scripts has a handful of different
> parameters which take in boolean arguments. However, {{bin/solr}} blithely
> accepts invalid values without warning administrators in any way of the
> mistake.
> In most cases, the results are innocuous. But in some cases, silently
> handling invalid input causes real issues. Consider:
> {code}
> $ bin/solr auth enable -type basicAuth -credentials anyUser:anyPass
> -blockUnknown ture
> Successfully enabled basic auth with username [anyUser] and password
> [anyPass].
> $ bin/solr auth enable -type basicAuth -credentials anyUser:anyPass
> -blockUnknown ture
> Security is already enabled. You can disable it with 'bin/solr auth disable'.
> Existing security.json:
> {
> "authentication":{
> "blockUnknown": false,
> "class":"solr.BasicAuthPlugin",
> "credentials":{"mount":"3FLVxpOGLt4dlqlyqxgsiFDbGX+i+dc81L6qEhuBdcI=
> lrH1W1pFGyGoAdTJ/Isuclh042fvz66ggG7YZ4e7YwA="}
> },
> ...
> }
> {code}
> If an administrator accidentally mistypes or fatfingers "true" when enabling
> authentication, their Solr instance will remain unprotected without any
> warning!
> The {{bin/solr auth}} tool should refuse to process invalid boolean
> arguments, or at the least spit out a warning in such cases.
