My client is using Solr for Ranger audit logs. It appears that enabling Solr results in a Solr instance devoid of any security? What are the recommended paths to secure this particular instance of Solr?

HDP 2.5 support secure solr intergration with ranger, in hdp2.5 , you can specify in ranger config whether you solr is secure , and ranger is also kerberised so it should be good to go with auditing using solr

Thanks @deepak sharma. We're still not on HDP 2.5. Does this apply to HDP 2.3.4 and 2.4.2 or is it only 2.5+? Also, can we connect to secure Solr instance rather than SolrCloud?

Secure solr support is already in

Hi,

I am getting the below error when I configured Ranger to use Solr for audits. We are using HDP-2.3.6

I see the below error when I access Solr UI

Hey,

We are using HDP2.3.6.

We are geeting below error when we configured Ranger to store audit on Solr.
