Hi, I setup a two shard cluster using tomcat 6.0.35 with solr 4.0.0-BETA version and zookeeper 3.3.4. I wanted to secure the solr admin page and added a BASIC auth to the container so that all admin requests to the index will be protected.I did this by adding below security constraint tag in web.xml in {tomcat_home}/conf directory. Also, I defined the corresponding roles ans user credentials in tomcat-users.xml at the same location. After doing this, I could see that admin page is successfully secured.
ISSUE: But, the issue is Replication is not working and getting *401- unauthorized* access when replica tries to connect to the leader.Is there any workaround to fix this issue? Appreciate your help. <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name> Solr authenticated application </web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>solradmin</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>Basic Authentication</realm-name> </login-config> <security-role> <description>My role</description> <role-name>solradmin</role-name> </security-role> Thanks,Sudhakar.
