Solr 4.10.2 Enabling Basic Authentication in HTTP

[Alexandre Drouin]

Hi,

I currently have basic authentication enabled with HTTPS and it is working 
great.  I want to remove SSL from my Solr installation (master/slave) while 
keeping the basic authentication.  To this effect, I removed the 
SslSelectChannelConnector connector from my jetty.xml file and I replaced it 
with the SelectChannelConnector connector like so:

    <Call name="addConnector">
      <Arg>
          <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
            <Set name="host"><SystemProperty name="jetty.host" /></Set>
            <Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" 
default="8983"/></Set>
            <Set name="maxIdleTime">50000</Set>
            <Set name="Acceptors">2</Set>
            <Set name="statsOn">false</Set>
            <Set name="lowResourcesConnections">5000</Set>
            <Set name="lowResourcesMaxIdleTime">5000</Set>
          </New>
      </Arg>
    </Call>

However I get a 403 error when I try to access the Solr server (url: /solr).  I 
did not modify the security-constraint nodes of my web.xml file since the basic 
authentication was working in HTTPS and I can provide the file if necessary.

How can I enable basic authentication for HTTP in Solr 4.10.2 ?
