SOLR-17930: Improving MultiAuthPlugin in Solr 10
Hello everyone,
While working on the new UI and fixing some issues in the web-target, I
noticed some "limitations" of the MultiAuthPlugin for web clients that I
would like to change in Solr 10.
SOLR-17930 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17930> describes the
issue in detail, and PR #3703
<https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3703> contains
the improvement proposed. It should have a small impact for existing
consumers. With the fix the new UI (and other web-clients) are capable of
displaying multiple authentication options simultaneously when
MultiAuthPlugin is used (once implemented), and also support xBasic in
MultiAuthPlugin for BasicAuthPlugin, so that no uncontrolled browser prompt
is shown.
More details in issue and PR. I would appreciate feedback and reviews.
Best,
Christos

Thanks Eric for the review on this issue.
I have finalized the changes and plan to merge them in the next days if
there are no objections.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. If you plan
to review the changes I can wait before merging them.
By merging the changes we can proceed and apply some fixes for the new UI
(see https://github.com/apache/solr/pull/3704) and implement the next
authentication methods.
