Anshum Gupta commented on SOLR-14216:
-------------------------------------
[~janhoy] - I'm not convinced that the health check handlers should escape auth
completely. This endpoint reflects the actual state of the Solr instance. The
last I checked, we only bypass auth for static content i.e. that doesn't change
ever and is available on the internet.
I completely agree that we should consolidate and not check for bypassing auth
in 3 different places but that's another JIRA.

> The {{HealthCheckHandler}} on {{/api/node/health}} and
> {{/solr/admin/info/health}} should by default not be subject to
> authentication, but be open for all. This allows for load balancers and
> various monitoring to probe Solr's health without having to support the auth
> scheme in place. I can't see any reason we need auth on the health endpoint.
> It is possible to achieve the same by setting blockUnknown=false and
> configuring three RBAC permissions: One for v1 endpoint, one for v2 endpoint
> and one "all" catch all at the end of the chain. But this is cumbersome so
> better have this ootb.
> An alternative solution is to create a separate HttpServer for health check,
> listening on a different port, just like embedded ZK and JMX.
