@elangelo thanks for this... However, I am wondering if we need to go a bit furthur...

@janhoy you often have good ideas on if something is the right way...

I am wondering, do we need to tweak out bin/solr auth command to basically do what this script does? Have a cross platform no custom coding option?

Thoughts from either of you (or anyone else?)

[janhoy]

+1 to a bin/solr auth encode-pass or similar in Java code. Or simply link to https://clemente-biondo.github.io/ or even embed the js as a tool on the solr website itself?

I did some JIRA gardening and linking this.

@elangelo would you be interestedin picking up @janhoy idea of tweaking the AuthTool to handle the encoding? I'd prefer not to add another bash based tool, and stick to Java...

I'm not into java at all... I don't even have an idea how to start this. I'm not saying no... but certainly right now it's kind of hard to fit timewise.
