OK, I downgraded to solr 5.2.x Unfortunatelly still no luck. I followed 2 aproaches:
1. Secure it the old fashioned way like described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28043957/how-to-set-apache-solr-admin-password 2. Using the Basic Authentication Plugin like described here: http://lucidworks.com/blog/securing-solr-basic-auth-permission-rules/ Both aproaches created unsolved problems. While following option 1, I was able to secure the Admin UI with basic authentication, but no longer able to access my application despite the fact that it was working on solr 3.x with the same type of authentication procedure and credentials. While following option 2, I was stuck right after uploading the security.json file to the zookeeper ensemble. The described behaviour to curl http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authentication responded with a 404 not found and then solr could not connect to zookeeper. I had to remove that file from zookeeper and restart all solr nodes. Please could someone lead me the way on how to secure the Admin UI and password protect solr cloud? I have a perfectly running system with solr 3.x and one core and now taking it to solr cloud 5.2.x into production seems to be stoped by simple authorization problems. Thank you in advane for any help. 2015-09-10 20:42 GMT+02:00 Noble Paul <noble.p...@gmail.com>: > Check this https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Securing+Solr > > There a couple of bugs in 5.3.o and a bug fix release is coming up > over the next few days. > > We don't provide any specific means to restrict access to admin UI > itself.
