             Summary: Securing Solr (umbrella issue)
                 Key: SOLR-7236
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7236
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl


This is an umbrella issue for adding security to Solr. The discussion here should discuss real user needs and high-level strategy, before deciding on implementation details. All work will be done in sub tasks and linked issues.

Solr has not traditionally concerned itself with security. And It has been a general view among the committers that it may be better to stay out of it to avoid "blood on our hands" in this mine-field. Still, Solr has lately seen SSL support, securing of ZK, and signing of jars, and discussions have begun about securing operations in Solr.

Some of the topics to address are
* User management (flat file, AD/LDAP etc)
* Authentication (Admin UI, Admin and data/query operations. Tons of auth protocols: basic, digest, oauth, pki..)
* Authorization (who can do what with what API, collection, doc)
* Pluggability (no user's needs are equal)
* And we could go on and on but this is what we've seen the most demand for
