In SOLR-14496, we introduce Basic Auth support using the command line long option “-credentials” and the short form “-u”. This dropped in seamlessly except for two commands, AssertTool and PackageTool.
AssertTool uses the -u parameter to mean “Asserts that we run as same user that owns <directory>.” And is short for -same-user parameter. PackageTool uses the -u parameter to mean "If a deployment is an update over a previous deployment.” And is short for -update parameter. Thoughts on removing those short options (or if we have ideas for a new short option using that) so that -u can mean username:password everywhere? Alternatively is there another short letter for user credentials we prefer? -u and —credentials is also what the Prometheus Exporter uses for basic auth credentials… Eric _______________________ Eric Pugh | Founder & CEO | OpenSource Connections, LLC | 434.466.1467 | http://www.opensourceconnections.com <http://www.opensourceconnections.com/> | My Free/Busy <http://tinyurl.com/eric-cal> Co-Author: Apache Solr Enterprise Search Server, 3rd Ed <https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/apache-solr-enterprise-search-server-third-edition-raw> This e-mail and all contents, including attachments, is considered to be Company Confidential unless explicitly stated otherwise, regardless of whether attachments are marked as such.
