Master slave replication with digest authentication

[Maciej Pestka <ma...@wp.pl>]

Hi,

I've configured basic authentication on tomcat & my slave solr instance and it works.

Any idea how to configure slave to replicate properly with digest authentication?
on Solr WIKI I could find only basic authentication example: 
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity

solrconfig.xml (slave config):
		<str name="httpBasicAuthUser">username</str>
		<str name="httpBasicAuthPassword">password</str>

Regards

I'm pretty sure that basic auth is all that's supported.  Right now, 
replication is the only internal solr communication that supports 
authentication.  There is an issue to add it for all internal solr 
communication.  The hope is to get it into 4.3.  I don't know how likely 
that is to happen.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4470

As implemented, this will only support basic authentication, but the 
issue notes say that adding digest wouldn't be a huge change.  When this 
makes it into Solr (4.3 or 4.4) I wouldn't count on seeing digest until 
the next release, and only if there is enough desire in the community 
for the feature.

Thanks,
