Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-8440:
-----------------------------------
I also vote for keeping it user friendly first and foremost.
However, one advantage of {{solr.httpclient.config}} is that the plaintext
password will not be available as a system property. If it is passed in to Solr
as system property it will be visible both in Admin UI and in {{ps -efwww}}. So
if {{bin/solr auth....}} is able to create the password file inside
{{$SOLR_VAR_DIR}} for the instance, i.e. next to {{solr.in.sh}} and update
solr.in.sh accordingly.

> 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
