[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-4392) DIH - Need to externalize or encrypt
username/password stored within data-config.xml
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4392?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Senthuran Sivananthan updated SOLR-4392:
----------------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-4392.patch
Initial patch that adds a jdbc data source factory.
We now just need to implement the various encryption algorithms.
I'll work on a quick DES and AES impls, next.

> Key: SOLR-4392
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4392
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib - DataImportHandler
> Affects Versions: 4.0, 4.1
> Reporter: Senthuran Sivananthan
> Attachments: SOLR-4392.patch

> Today, the connection (database or otherwise) credentials is wide open in data-config.xml. Not really an issue until someone sends out the config file outside of the server.
> We should look into externalizing the database lookup or providing a way to encrypt the username and password.
> The needs are:
> 1/ Some projects want to enable multi-tenancy where data for each core is situated in different database servers w/ their own credentials. We need a way to expose hooks that will allow implementations to be plugged in. It can be done though the "type" attribute on the dataSource, but providing a factory might work better.
> 2/ Most orgs are very protective of their credentials and weary of plain-text settings.
