Solr and admin authentication

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I've managed for test purposes set up the Alfresco Solr integration for 4.0.a, using ssl authentication. I've set it up with alfresco included certificates found in alfresco/keystore.
For what I can tell, indexing is taking place and search return expected results.

What is not working is accessing https://localhost:8443/solr/admin.
Solr is in web.xml by default set up to require certificate authentication

<login-config>
  <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method>
  <realm-name>Solr</realm-name>
</login-config>‍‍‍‍

So I need to get hold of a client certificate, and import this to my browser? I just assume that is what I need to do. The error I get is

2011-aug-29 13:20:05 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor action
VARNING: Exception getting SSL attributes
javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: handshake alert: no_certificate‍‍‍

and then unable to access the solr admin gui.
I tried with

keytool -export –rfc -alias alfresco.ca -file ssl.truststore.crt -keystore ssl.truststore -storepass <password> -storetype JCEKS‍

and with the other keystores. Imported exported crt into browser but that didn't help, and I must admit I not sure what I'm doing here  :roll:

Hi

The detail on how to generate your own certificates will appear on the wiki sometime soon.

There will be a suitable certificate for web browser access in the next community drop/HEAD build.

See HEAD\root\projects\repository\config\alfresco\keystore\browser.p12
