Cassandra Targett updated SOLR-12531:

    Component/s: Authentication

> Update/Improve Kerberos-Authentication-Plugin Ref Guide page
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SOLR-12531
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12531
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>      Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) 
>          Components: Authentication, documentation
>    Affects Versions: 7.4

> The [Kerberos Authentication Plugin|https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_4/kerberos-authentication-plugin.html] ref-guide page does a good job of informing users how to setup Kerberos in their Solr deployments.
> But it's also got some papercuts that make it tougher to follow than it needs to be.  These include:
> - some code snippets use classes that no longer exist.  This confuses new users, as shown by this mailing list question that came up the other day: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrJ-Kerberos-Client-API-td4396275.html
> - no mention of {{bin/solr auth}} for modifying {{security.json}} for Kerberos.
> - missing explanation of {{solr.kerberos.name.rules}} syntax/meaning
> - the name: the article's doesn't just cover Solr's auth plugin.  It walks a user through setting up Kerberos on their cluster.  Maybe a more general name is appropriate. ("Setting Up Kerberos"?  "Kerberos Support"?)
> None of these are major, but I've run into enough papercuts trying to use the page that I think it's worth fixing.  If anyone has other suggestions for changes please let me know.  I hope to have a draft up shortly for review.
