[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-4470) Support for basic http auth in internal solr requests

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4470?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13672839#comment-13672839 ] 

Per Steffensen commented on SOLR-4470:
--------------------------------------

bq. if the security is all handled by the container, this issue is much less controversial

It is and that is the way it always was with this patch

If you tell me the this issue with RegExpAuthorizationFilter being in non-test code, even though it is only used from test code, always was your (single) issue with this patch, I am going to laugh my ass off. You clearly never looked into it, never understood it and never wanted to understand it - maybe until a few days ago (Im not sure).

> We want to protect any HTTP-resource (url). We want to require credentials no matter what kind of HTTP-request you make to a Solr-node.
> It can faily easy be acheived as described on http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity. This problem is that Solr-nodes also make "internal" request to other Solr-nodes, and for it to work credentials need to be provided here also.
> Ideally we would like to "forward" credentials from a particular request to all the "internal" sub-requests it triggers. E.g. for search and update request.
> But there are also "internal" requests
> * that only indirectly/asynchronously triggered from "outside" requests (e.g. shard creation/deletion/etc based on calls to the "Collection API")
> * that do not in any way have relation to an "outside" "super"-request (e.g. replica synching stuff)
> We would like to aim at a solution where "original" credentials are "forwarded" when a request directly/synchronously trigger a subrequest, and fallback to a configured "internal credentials" for the asynchronous/non-rooted requests.
> In our solution we would aim at only supporting basic http auth, but we would like to make a "framework" around it, so that not to much refactoring is needed if you later want to make support for other kinds of auth (e.g. digest)
> We will work at a solution but create this JIRA issue early in order to get input/comments from the community as early as possible.
