That solr user defined in security.json is not the same as linux user solr that runs the solr service. The web authentication is controlled by the /security.json file in ZK. The security user can be any username you choose. On linux you can "sudo su solr" to switch to user solr. The linux user solr does not have a password stored as it's a service account so "su solr" would not work.

There can be a tiny misconfiguration somewhere else not controlled by you and you face suddenly a big open leak. Never do this - not even for development environments (here another important aspect is if there are possible authentication issues that you are aware of them early). > Am 11.12.2019 um 17:18 schrieb rhys J <rhyssha...@gmail.com>: > > I installed Solr following the directions on this site: > > https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fluce > ne.apache.org%2Fsolr%2Fguide%2F6_6%2Finstalling-solr.html&data=02% > 7C01%7CKhuong.Nguyen1%40uspto.gov%7C07d05f1fc0f64377b03408d77e838b40%7 > Cff4abfe983b540268b8ffa69a1cad0b8%7C1%7C0%7C637116975756344665&sda > ta=z7U8%2Fqy1KRfkKOfpPE3z51sAVyehssDDC8d2QGk5aiw%3D&reserved=0 > > I am running standalone Solr with no authentication added because it > is all in-house with no access to outside requests. > > When I try to su solr, using the password mentioned here: > https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fluci > dworks.com%2Fpost%2Fsecuring-solr-basic-auth-permission-rules%2F&data=02%7C01%7CKhuong.Nguyen1%40uspto.gov%7C07d05f1fc0f64377b03408d77e838b40%7Cff4abfe983b540268b8ffa69a1cad0b8%7C1%7C0%7C637116975756344665&sdata=upzKuCQE2FRcyCu8Tu9R0kPK47%2BZLBymotpU%2FX4dvJU%3D&reserved=0, > i get an authentication failure. > > I'm trying to chase down a bug, and I need to be able to see the > results of some commands from the user solr's perspective. > > What am I doing wrong? > > Thanks, > > Rhys
