Karl Wright commented on SOLR-1895:
-----------------------------------
>>>>>>
Otherwise, security is compromised simply by guessing (or already knowing) the
username of someone with higher privileges.
<<<<<<
That is obviously true, so anyone setting up such a system would not want the
Solr webapp to be accessible by just anyone. The presumption is that the Solr
webapp is not the final user interface, and is indeed not accessible to the
user at all. This problem is generally addressed by controlling exactly who
can connect to the Solr socket.
But also bear in mind that the following "security holes" exist, and need to be
dealt with appropriately:
(1) The index files themselves contain potentially secure data;
(2) solrconfig.xml can be changed to point to a spoofed authority service.
So, in general, locking the box down that runs Solr is the only way to go.
> LCF SearchComponent plugin for enforcing LCF security at search time

> Key: SOLR-1895
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1895
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SearchComponents - other
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Fix For: 1.5
>
> Attachments: LCFSecurityFilter.java, LCFSecurityFilter.java,
> LCFSecurityFilter.java
>
>
> I've written an LCF SearchComponent which filters returned results based on
> access tokens provided by LCF's authority service. The component requires
> you to configure the appropriate authority service URL base, e.g.:
> <!-- LCF document security enforcement component -->
> <searchComponent name="lcfSecurity" class="LCFSecurityFilter">
> <str
> name="AuthorityServiceBaseURL">http://localhost:8080/lcf-authority-service</str>
> </searchComponent>
> Also required are the following schema.xml additions:
> <!-- Security fields -->
> <field name="allow_token_document" type="string" indexed="true"
> stored="false" multiValued="true"/>
> <field name="deny_token_document" type="string" indexed="true"
> stored="false" multiValued="true"/>
> <field name="allow_token_share" type="string" indexed="true"
> stored="false" multiValued="true"/>
> <field name="deny_token_share" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false"
> multiValued="true"/>
> Finally, to tie it into the standard request handler, it seems to need to run
> last:
> <requestHandler name="standard" class="solr.SearchHandler" default="true">
> <arr name="last-components">
> <str>lcfSecurity</str>
> </arr>
> ...
> I have not set a package for this code. Nor have I been able to get it
> reviewed by someone as conversant with Solr as I would prefer. It is my
> hope, however, that this module will become part of the standard Solr 1.5
> suite of search components, since that would tie it in with LCF nicely.
