[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-12120) New plugin type AuditLoggerPlugin

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12120?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jan Høydahl updated SOLR-12120:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Solr needs a well defined plugin point to implement audit logging functionality, which is independent from whatever {{AuthenticationPlugin}} or {{AuthorizationPlugin}} are in use at the time.

It seems reasonable to introduce a new plugin type {{AuditLoggerPlugin}}. It could be configured in solr.xml or it could be a third type of plugin defined in {{security.json}}, i.e.
{code}
{
  "authentication" : { "class" : ... },
  "authorization" : { "class" : ... },
  "auditlogging" : { "class" : "x.y.MyAuditLogger", ... }
}
{code}
We could then instrument SolrDispatchFilter to the audit plugin with an AuditEvent at important points such as successful authentication:
{code:java}
auditLoggerPlugin.audit(new SolrAuditEvent(EventType.AUTHENTICATED, request)); 
{code}
 

We will mark the impl as {{@lucene.experimental}} in the first release to let it settle as people write their own plugin implementations.

"authentication" : { "class" : ... }
"authorization" : { "class" : ... }
"auditlogging" : { "class" : "x.y.MyAuditLogger", ... }{code}
We could then instrument SolrDispatchFilter to call {{auditlogger.authenticationFailed(request, response, msg)}} if auth failed and the request is going to be aborted, and likewise HttpSolrCall could call relevant methods when a final autz decision is made, e.g. {{auditlogger.notAuthorized(authCtx, request, response)}}, and if all is OK, it could call {{auditlogger.ok()}} for  success logging.

If no auditlogger is explicitly configured, we can fallback to a default {{SolrLogAuditLogger}} that logs to standard Solr log, or we could setup log4j to output a new {{logs/audit.log}} file.
