Solr 9.0.0 Release Highlights:

  • Minimum Java version supported: Java 11

Security

  • Certificate Authentication Plugin: Supports loading the certificate subject via a user principal into the AuthorizationContext and enables end-to-end use of client certificates for Authentication and Authorization
  • Improved security when using PKI Authentication plugin
  • Upgrade to ZK 3.7 allows for TLS communication between Solr and Zookeeper
  • Jetty Request log is now enabled by default
  • All request handlers support security permissions for access
  • Ability to disable admin UI through a system property
  • The property blockUnknown in the BasicAuthPlugin and the JWTAuthPlugin now defaults to true. This change is backward incompatible. If you need the pre-9.0 default behavior, you need to explicitly set blockUnknown:false in security.json.

  • Solr now runs with the java security manager enabled by default. Administrators that need to run Solr with Hadoop will need to disable this feature by setting 
  • Solr embedded zookeeper only binds to localhost by default. This embedded zookeeper should not be used in production. If you rely upon the previous behavior, then you can change the clientPortAddress in solr/server/solr/zoo.cfg
