There are a few topics and articles on Solr authentication & authorization, but I cannot get it to work (the way I like).
I followed these tutorials / information sources: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Authentication+and+Authorization+Plugins and https://lucidworks.com/blog/2015/08/17/securing-solr-basic-auth-permission-rules/
Then I created this security.json and I confirmed it is active in Zookeeper:
{
"authentication":{
"class":"solr.BasicAuthPlugin",
"credentials":{
"solr":"...",
"admin":"...",
"monitor":"...",
"data_import":"..."},
"":{"v":8}},
"authorization":{
"class":"solr.RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin",
"permissions":[
{
"name":"security-edit",
"role":"adminRole"},
{
"name":"security-read",
"role":"adminRole"},
{
"name":"schema-edit",
"role":"adminRole"},
{
"name":"schema-read",
"role":"collectionRole"},
{
"name":"config-edit",
"role":"adminRole"},
{
"name":"config-read",
"role":"collectionRole"},
{
"name":"collection-admin-edit",
"role":"adminRole"},
{
"name":"collection-admin-read",
"role":"collectionRole"},
{
"name":"update",
"role":"dataImportRole"},
{
"name":"read",
"role":"dataImportRole"}],
"user-role":{
"solr":[
"adminRole",
"collectionRole",
"dataImportRole"],
"admin":[
"adminRole",
"collectionRole",
"dataImportRole"],
"monitor":[
"collectionRole",
"dataImportRole"],
"data_import":["dataImportRole"]}}}
I now have a security.json that works for curl requests from command line:
curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authorization"
Unauthorized request, Response code: 401
curl --user solr:<pwd> "http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authorization"
Normal response with the info
So far so good.
Now I try and select something from a collection, which shouldn't work anonymously according to my security.json, however it still works
curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/outlets_shard1_replica1/select?q=*%3A*&wt=json&indent=true"
"responseHeader":{
"status":0,
"QTime":1,
"params":{
"indent":"true",
"q":"*:*",
"wt":"json"}},
"response":{"numFound":2000,"start":0,"d.. }
This is the first thing that vexes me. I probably can create some custom path permission for /select, but having the read right assigned to a specific role should do the trick right? but [1] How can I disable all anonymous access?
Continuing on, probably related, it bothers me that the Solr Admin UI(http://solrurl:8983/solr/#) is still accessible. In previous Solr installations (with tomcat) I remember that even this interface was secured. It also seems that I still have complete access to the entire core (reload worked) and I can also inspect cloud configuration.[2] How can I restrict access to Solr Admin UI?
The only stuff that actually seems to be secure is all the /solr/admin related commands
Which brings me to the 3rd thing I can't seem to figure out: How do I configure solr.in.sh so that solr authentication is passed with /bin/solr commands
I see the SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_CONFIGURER and SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_OPTS options, but I have no clue how to modify those to feed basic realm authentication into solr commandline. So [3] How do I keep all access from commandline to Solr (and Zookeeper) authorized & authenticated?
eg. solr status now returns
Found 1 Solr nodes:
Solr process 15931 running on port 8983

I've tested with
SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_OPTS="-DinternalAuthCredentialsBasicAuthUsername=solr -DinternalAuthCredentialsBasicAuthPassword=<pass>"
To no avail
