Inquiry for Solr Cloud Authentication

Hi! I am Hoon who is running a Solr cluster on production.

I am considering adding an authentication for Solr Cloud using like Basic
Authentication plugin. Here, my concern is, if I bring the authentication
plugin to the cluster, how much latency will increase or affected.

Is there any results or data for the performance?
or, please let me know the best authentication plugin which doesn't affect
latency.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Hoon

Yes, you should setup basic auth without SSL it in a very protected network
only

Don't let "basic auth" without SSL think there is inherent security, if
someone has access to the network it is trivial to sniff network traffic
and pickup the username/password (as noted in the caveats section
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Basic+Authentication+Plugin>).
There is a little more overhead for setting up SSL connections but as long
as there is keep-alives it's not too big of a penalty. Another option could
be using two-way SSL for authentication purposes.

Basic auth should have the best performance (almost negligible difference
between unsecured and secured). Also, you could try delegation tokens
support.
