You could include a common file with the JdbcDataSource (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml#XInclude) or add the password as a property in solr.xml in the container scope (http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CoreAdmin#Configuration) so it will be available to all cores. Personally, I use a single configuration for all cores with soft-linked config files, so I only have to change the config in one place.

[...] As far as I am aware, it is not possible to do either of the two options above. However, one could extend the JdbcDataSource class to add such functionality. Regards, Gora
