solr basic authentication

[Dinesh Sundaram <sd...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

is there any way to disable basic authentication for particular domain. i
have proxy pass from a domain to solr which is always asking credentials so
wanted to disable basic auth only for that domain. is there any way?


Thanks,
Dinesh Sundaram.

Thanks Chris for your help. I tried to find that solution but nothing is
working out. it is not accepting the credentils, may be i'm trying with
wrong base 64 algorithm.

I wouldn't recommend this, in general, because it's not really all that
secure, but since you have a reverse-proxy in between the client and
Solr, why not have the proxy provide the HTTP BASIC authentication
information to Solr?

That may be a more straightforward solution.
