[jira] [Comment Edited] (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=13910308#comment-13910308 ]

------------------------------------------------------------

Attaching patch with these changes:

* No whitespace-only diffs.
* AuthCredentials.java moved from {{org.apache.solr.security}} to below "common": {{org.apache.solr.common.auth}}, feels it's a better location, updated package.html description for the new package
* Javadoc for AuthCredentials class
* CoreAdminRequest#persist() was undeprecated by previous patch, assuming that was a typo, re-adding deprecation.
* In previous patch two public static methods in CoreAdminRequest#createCore(...) were replaced with methods adding AuthCredentials. Added these back not to break back-compat for external users.
* In HttpClientUtil#createClient(...) the code in prev patch was:
 {code}
    if (Boolean.getBoolean( HTTP_CLIENTS_MUST_ADAPT_TO_CREDENTIALS_CHANGES) && authCredentials != null) {
 {code}
 However, getBoolean on this final string will always be false, changed to what I guess was the intention:
 {code}
    if (config.getBool( HTTP_CLIENTS_MUST_ADAPT_TO_CREDENTIALS_CHANGES, false) && authCredentials != null) {
 {code}
* In HttpClientUtil, re-add \@Deprecated versions of the old PROP_BASIC_AUTH_USER and PROP_BASIC_AUTH_PASS config params along with these
 two method signatures:
  {code}
    public static void configureClient(final DefaultHttpClient httpClient, SolrParams config){code}
and
  {code}
    @Deprecated
    public static void setBasicAuth(DefaultHttpClient httpClient, String basicAuthUser, String basicAuthPass){code}
  and corresponding code in HttpClientConfigurer. This way 3rd party code already using this way will get a warning before they need to recompile in a later version of Solr.
  Also added a bullet on top of CHANGES.txt that people should start using the new way of doing things. 

Btw. This patch (SOLR-4470.patch) is for r1570335

> 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.
