Setup

  • Solr version: 9.5.0
  • Drupal Core version: 9.5.11
  • Search API version: 8.x-1.30
  • Search API Solr version: 4.3.1
  • Configured Solr Connector: Basic Auth

Issue

Everything worked fine until I added a security.json to the solr home directory.

I have started using about 2 weeks now. After reading enough documentation, I had everything set up and a server that was reachable.
I have installed the Apache Solr Server on my Centos server.

However, when I add the security.json the and do a restart. The Apache Solr Server I set up under Search API goes unavailable.
The authentication seems to work fine but I can't index or search any data from the site because the server becomes unavailable.

My lack of knowledge concludes that I may have to use a specific user in my json file but I am not sure.

May you shed some light, please?
I think

    Your security.json activates basic auth. So you need to configure the Basic Auth connector in Search API Solr, not the Standard connector.

    Thanks much for the response..
    I know it's difficult having to keep up with these isues.

    So I'm using Basic Auth now.
    Set the username and password to solr:SolrRocks..

    Same user/pass in the security.json.
    Using this tool to create encrypt the passwords.

    I am able to sign into the Solr Admin UI with the user/Pass So I know it works..

    I also went ahead and set these op:

    SOLR_AUTH_TYPE="basic"
    SOLR_AUTHENTICATION_OPTS="-Dbasicauth=solr:SolrRocks"

    Errors Shown under logging in the Solr UI

    The errors are basically the same but now they say

    Unauthorized

    for the same paths.

    So the Apache Solr Server I set up under Search API is still unavailable.

    Is there something I'm missing.

    I recommend that you read the solr docuementation.
    But because security.json has nothing to do with this module directly, I'll close the issue.
