Jörn Franke updated CONNECTORS-1629:
------------------------------------
Description:
Several enterprise deployments of Solr are leveraging SolrCloud Kerberos
authentication.
The integration seems to be rather simple and the goal of this Jira is to
evaluate the possential needed step to eventually contribute the Kerberos
integration to the ManifoldCF project.
The following steps would be needed:
* One can pass the JVM parameter java.security.auth.login.config to the
ManifoldCF JVM using -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/path/to/jaas.confg in
which Kerberos authentication details, such as keytab and principal that has
the right access to Solr is configured
* A small adaption to the SolrCloudClient that is used within Manifold needs
to be done to enable Kerberos authentication: HttpClientUtil.setConfigurer(new
Krb5HttpClientConfigurer());
Should this be integrated in Manifold, one may want to consider one input field
in the configuration in the UI where one can select / flow which user defined
in the Jaas conf (you can define multiple one) should be chosen. By default one
may simply select "client" or "SolrJClient" if Jaas.conf is present in the
System properties. This does not mean the user needs to be named like this, but
the configuration entry referencing any user should be named like this.
Having a confiugration allows to have a different users per flow. This might
also be needed in case you have multiple Solr clusters.
