Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-4470:
-----------------------------------

bq. You can override the CredentialsProviders or you can choose to use the 
default one (finding credentials in VM params) but not set the VM params using 
command-line.

Could make an implementation which reads a system-basic-auth.properties from ZK 
(given your ZK is encrypted). That would be useful once the other issue about 
securing ZK is solved.

Or one which takes in a 
{{-DinternalAuthCredentialsBasicAuthFile=/path/to/file}} and then that file 
would not be readable only to the user running Jetty/Tomcat.

I agree that since this is pluggable, it is not a showstopper - users can 
choose how paranoid they are and plug whatever suits them.

Q: Would it make sense to make {{CurrentInternalRequestFactory}} or 
{{InterSolrNodeAuthCredentialsFactory}} pluggable through solr.xml? Currently 
you need to patch and build Solr to change it, right?

> We want to protect any HTTP-resource (url). We want to require credentials no 
> matter what kind of HTTP-request you make to a Solr-node.
> It can faily easy be acheived as described on 
> http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity. This problem is that Solr-nodes 
> also make "internal" request to other Solr-nodes, and for it to work 
> credentials need to be provided here also.
> Ideally we would like to "forward" credentials from a particular request to 
> all the "internal" sub-requests it triggers. E.g. for search and update 
> request.
> But there are also "internal" requests
> * that only indirectly/asynchronously triggered from "outside" requests (e.g. 
> shard creation/deletion/etc based on calls to the "Collection API")
> * that do not in any way have relation to an "outside" "super"-request (e.g. 
> replica synching stuff)
> We would like to aim at a solution where "original" credentials are 
> "forwarded" when a request directly/synchronously trigger a subrequest, and 
> fallback to a configured "internal credentials" for the 
> asynchronous/non-rooted requests.
> In our solution we would aim at only supporting basic http auth, but we would 
> like to make a "framework" around it, so that not to much refactoring is 
> needed if you later want to make support for other kinds of auth (e.g. digest)
> We will work at a solution but create this JIRA issue early in order to get 
> input/comments from the community as early as possible.
