Thanks.  That is good news, though it won't help me this time around.  My
application framework (Drupal) doesn't support Solr 8.  I may try Solr 6
again, or take another stab at getting the Basic Authentication plugin to
work in Solr 7.  My Solr install isn't web-accessible, so the only threats
would come from inside the network.
