>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Solr 7.x component

> Several enterprise deployments of Solr are leveraging SolrCloud Kerberos authentication.
> The integration seems to be rather simple and the goal of this Jira is to evaluate the possential needed step to eventually contribute the Kerberos integration to the ManifoldCF project.
> The following steps would be needed:
>  * One can pass the JVM parameter java.security.auth.login.config to the ManifoldCF JVM using -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/path/to/jaas.confg in which Kerberos authentication details, such as keytab and principal that has the right access to Solr is configured
>  * A small adaption to the SolrCloudClient that is used within Manifold needs to be done to enable Kerberos authentication: HttpClientUtil.setConfigurer(new Krb5HttpClientConfigurer());
