Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8429:
-----------------------------------

bq. I'm kinda against any rule which requires a user to read documentation to 
understand. The rule of thumb is if a user looks at the security.json he should 
have enough idea on what could happen.

Agree, but how can a user reading this {{security.json}} 
{code}
{"authentication": {"class": "solr.BasicAuthPlugin",  "credentials": {"solr": 
"i9buKe/RhJV5bF/46EI9xmVVYyrnbg9zXf+2FrFwcy0= OTg3"}}}
{code}
...have any clue that absolutely nothing will be protected -- unless that was 
the default? On the other hand, if he saw {{"blockUnknown":false}} in there, 
he'd be explicitly warned that it is necessary to cover every single path in 
{{AutorizationPlugin}}

Related: Should we protect the user against locking herself out, i.e. throw 
exception if {{blockUnknown}} is set through API before there are any 
registered users?

> If authentication is setup with BasicAuthPlugin, it let's all requests go 
> through if no credentials are passed. This was done to have minimal impact 
> for users who only wishes to protect a few end points (say , collection admin 
> and core admin only)
> We can add a flag to {{BasicAuthPlugin}} to allow only authenticated requests 
> to go in 
> the users can create the first security.json with that flag
> {code}
> server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -z localhost:9983 -cmd put 
> /security.json '{"authentication": {"class": "solr.BasicAuthPlugin",

> {code}
