             Summary: Support multiple AuthenticationPlugin's simultaneoulsy
                 Key: SOLR-12666
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-12666
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Authentication, security
            Reporter: Jan Høydahl


Solr is getting support for more authentication plugins year by year, and customers have developed their own in-house plugins as well.

At the same time we see more and more requests to add *BasicAuth* support to various Solr clients such as SOLR-12584 (Solr Exporter), SOLR-9779 (Streaming expressions), SOLR-11356 (ConcurrentUpdateSolrClient), SOLR-8213 (JDBC), SOLR-12583 (Subquery docTransformer) and SOLR-10322 (Streaming expression daemon).

Currently the framework supports *only one active Auth method* (except PKI which is special). Which means that if you use something else than BasicAuth, you're lucky if you get any of the above features to work with your cluster. Even the AdminUI only supports BasicAuth (implicit via browser).

I think the solution is to allow more than one auth plugin to be active at the same time, allowing people to use their custom fancy auth which is tightly integrated with their environment, and at the same time activate BasicAuth for use with other clients that do not support the primary auth method.
