Hey guys, I've recently setup basic auth under Jetty 8 for all my Solr 4.x '/admin/*' calls, in order to protect my Collections and Cores API.
Although the security constraint is working as expected ('/admin/*' calls require Basic Auth or return 401), when I use the Collections API to create a collection, I receive a 200 OK to the Collections API CREATE call, but the background Cores API calls that are ran on the Collection API's behalf fail on the Basic Auth on other nodes with a 401 code, as I should have foreseen, but didn't. Is there a way to tell SolrCloud to use authentication on internal Cores API calls that are spawned on Collections API's behalf, or is this a new feature request? To reproduce: 1. Implement basic auth on '/admin/*' URIs. 2. Perform a CREATE Collections API call to a node (which will return 200 OK). 3. Notice all Cores API calls fail (Collection isn't created). See stack trace below from the node that was issued the CREATE call. The stack trace I get is: "org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Server at http://<HOST HERE>:8983/solr<http://%3cHOST%20HERE%3e:8983/solr> returned non ok status:401, message:Unauthorized at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer.request(HttpSolrServer.java:373) at org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer.request(HttpSolrServer.java:181) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.HttpShardHandler$1.call(HttpShardHandler.java:169) at org.apache.solr.handler.component.HttpShardHandler$1.call(HttpShardHandler.java:135) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:439) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:895) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:918) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)" Cheers!
