Description

The sample config in ZK would look like

{

"authentication":{

   "class":"solr.BasicAuthPlugin",

   "credentials":{"solr":"IV0EHq1OnNrj6gvRCwvFwTrZ1+z1oBbnQdiVC3otuq0= Ndd7LKvVBAaZIF0QAVi1ekCfAJXr1GGfLtRUXhgrF8c="}

}}

There is an API to add, edit or remove users. Please note that the commands shown below are tied to this specific Basic authentication implementation and the same set of commands are not valid if the implementation class is not solr.BasicAuthPlugin.
Example 1: Adding a user and editing a password

curl --user solr:SolrRocks http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authentication -H 'Content-type:application/json'-d '{ 
  "set-user": {"tom" : "TomIsCool" , 
               "harry":"HarrysSecret"}}'
 

Example 2: Deleting a user

curl --user solr:SolrRocks http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authentication -H 'Content-type:application/json'-d  '{
 "delete-user": ["tom","harry"]}'
