Authentication and SolrCloud do not work well together, unless it's client-certificate-based authentication (SSL). This is because there is currently no way to tell Solr what user/pass to use when making requests to another node. This was one of the early issues trying to solve the problem with user/pass authentication and inter-node requests: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4470 That issue is now closed as a duplicate, because Solr 5.3 will have an authentication/authorization framework, and basic authentication is one of the first things that has been implemented using that framework: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7692 The release process for 5.3 is underway now. If all goes well, the release will happen well before the end of August. Thanks, Shawn
