How can I set up basic authentication for the Fulltext Server?
Answer:
Securing a Fulltext connection is not necessary in a DocuWare On-Premise installation since the server itself can and should be installed on a dedicated machine behind a firewall with access only from the Platform, Background Process Service and WEB Settings.
However, there is a possibility to do this:
Securing a Fulltext connection is not necessary in a DocuWare On-Premise installation since the server itself can and should be installed on a dedicated machine behind a firewall with access only from the Platform, Background Process Service and WEB Settings.
However, there is a possibility to do this:
- Locate the server.xml file from the Fulltext Server:
C:\Program Files\DocuWare\Full-Text Server (x64)\conf
and add a new user with the corresponding role:
<tomcat-users xmlns="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml tomcat-users.xsd"
version="1.0">
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="solr" password="solradmin" roles="manager-gui"/><role rolename="solr-role"/>
this will add a user "solr" with password "solradmin".
<user username="solr" password="solradmin" roles="solr-role"/>
</tomcat-users>
- Locate the tomcat-users.xml file:
C:\Program Files\DocuWare\Full-Text Server (x64)\conf
and add a new constraint and authentication method under “<security-constraint>“ element:
<security-constraint>
<!-- This protects your admin interface and grants access to role admin -->
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Solr admin</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/admin.html</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>solr-role</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
<security-role>
<role-name>solr-role</role-name>
</security-role>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>SOLR Realm</realm-name>
</login-config>
- Restart the Fulltext server, edit the Fulltext data connection in DocuWare Administration tool by enabling Basic Authentication and setting the user to “solr“ and password to “solradmin“..
