Blocker Description
This involves various components
Authentication
A basic auth based authentication filter. This should retrieve the user credentials from ZK. The user name and sha1 hash of password should be stored in ZK
sample authentication json
{
"authentication":{
"class": "solr.BasicAuthPlugin",
"users" :{
"john" :"09fljnklnoiuy98 buygujkjnlk",
"david":"f678njfgfjnklno iuy9865ty",
"pete": "87ykjnklndfhjh8 98uyiy98",
}
}
}
authorization plugin
This would store the roles of various users and their privileges in ZK
sample authorization.json
{
"authorization": {
"class": "solr.ZKAuthorization",
"user-role" :{
"john" : ["admin", "guest"]
"tom" : 'dev'
}
"permissions": [
{"name":"collection-edit",
"role": "admin"
},
{"name":"coreadmin",
"role":"admin"
},
{"name": "mycoll_update",
"collection": "mycoll",
"path":["/update/*"],
"role": ["guest","admin"]
}]
}
}
}
We will also need to provide APIs to create users and assign them roles
