Hrishikesh Gadre commented on SOLR-8440:
----------------------------------------
[~ichattopadhyaya] [~janhoy] Thanks for the comments. I haven't reviewed this
patch in detail, but the basic auth mechanism supports specifying a
configuration file (which would contain the password). User can set permissions
for this config file such that only solr admin can read/modify/delete the file.
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/07cc043664c4b82c208237b111f698ab2ae0ae07/solr/solrj/src/java/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/impl/PreemptiveBasicAuthClientBuilderFactory.java#L51
Does this address your concerns? If yes, then it may be a good idea to expose
this mechanism via the solr shell command instead of exposing passwords on
command-line.

> Now that BasicAuthPlugin will be able to work without an AuthorizationPlugin
> (SOLR-8429), it would be sweet to provide a super simple way to "Password
> protect Solr"™ right from the command line:
> {noformat}
> bin/solr basicAuth -adduser -user solr -pass SolrRocks
> {noformat}
> It would take the mystery out of enabling one single password across the
> board. The command would do something like this
> # Check if HTTPS is enabled, and if not, print a friendly warning
> # Check if {{/security.json}} already exists
> ## NO => create one with only plugin class defined
> ## YES => Abort if exists but plugin is not {{BasicAuthPlugin}}
> # Using security REST API, add the new user
