Fadi Mohsen commented on SOLR-4470:
-----------------------------------

Hi, I saw this issue while trying to package our variant of Solr, the requirment for production is SSL + Basic Auth.
So I sorrowfully skimmed through this thread, but just before giving up, I found one can do:
{code}
HttpClientUtil.setConfigurer( new HttpClientConfigurer() {
	public void configure(DefaultHttpClient httpClient, SolrParams config) {
                  // provide own impl of client to be used by Solr for internal calls.
        }
} )
{code}

so running a stand-alone jetty with Solr war, I started setup jetty programmatically, and then:
{code}
WebAppContext webapp = new WebAppContext();
webapp.setParentLoaderPriority(true);
{code}

setting parent loader prio means treat hole application as a single classpath "kinda".

problem solved for my use case ( green unit tests ), will live test solr cloud, fingers crossed.

> We want to protect any HTTP-resource (url). We want to require credentials no matter what kind of HTTP-request you make to a Solr-node.
> It can faily easy be acheived as described on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity. This problem is that Solr-nodes also make "internal" request to other Solr-nodes, and for it to work credentials need to be provided here also.
> Ideally we would like to "forward" credentials from a particular request to all the "internal" sub-requests it triggers. E.g. for search and update request.
> But there are also "internal" requests
> * that only indirectly/asynchronously triggered from "outside" requests (e.g. shard creation/deletion/etc based on calls to the "Collection API")
> * that do not in any way have relation to an "outside" "super"-request (e.g. replica synching stuff)
> We would like to aim at a solution where "original" credentials are "forwarded" when a request directly/synchronously trigger a subrequest, and fallback to a configured "internal credentials" for the asynchronous/non-rooted requests.
> In our solution we would aim at only supporting basic http auth, but we would like to make a "framework" around it, so that not to much refactoring is needed if you later want to make support for other kinds of auth (e.g. digest)
> We will work at a solution but create this JIRA issue early in order to get input/comments from the community as early as possible.
