Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-7236:
-----------------------------------
Looks like security is a hot topic for Solr these days, with five issues opened
just the last few weeks.
The last two issues SOLR-7274 and SOLR-7275 suggest adding a series of
Solr-specific classes to define an API for plugging in security. I'm trying to
understand why this is necessary compared to choosing a standard framework that
provides all of this for us, and let Solr code focus on search, not security
APIs?
> Securing Solr (umbrella issue)
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-7236
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7236
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jan Høydahl
> Labels: Security
>
> This is an umbrella issue for adding security to Solr. The discussion here
> should discuss real user needs and high-level strategy, before deciding on
> implementation details. All work will be done in sub tasks and linked issues.
> Solr has not traditionally concerned itself with security. And It has been a
> general view among the committers that it may be better to stay out of it to
> avoid "blood on our hands" in this mine-field. Still, Solr has lately seen
> SSL support, securing of ZK, and signing of jars, and discussions have begun
> about securing operations in Solr.
> Some of the topics to address are
> * User management (flat file, AD/LDAP etc)
> * Authentication (Admin UI, Admin and data/query operations. Tons of auth
> protocols: basic, digest, oauth, pki..)
> * Authorization (who can do what with what API, collection, doc)
> * Pluggability (no user's needs are equal)
> * And we could go on and on but this is what we've seen the most demand for
