I am unable to complete “step 0 – Connect your indexes” if I have Solr authentication and authorization plugins are enabled. Error displayed on the screen says “cURL error 7:” When I provide wrong credentials, it clearly report bad credentials error.

Everything works fine when I disable Solr authentication and authorization.

What is the full error message?

And how do you protect your Solr?

Error message given in WordPress admin is just “cURL error 7:”. Is there any log file where I can get detailed error messages ?

I have created security.json file and uses solr.BasicAuthPlugin and solr.RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin. Solr runs on http (not https). I can login into solr admin using the credentials configured in security.json

Similar to https://www.wpsolr.com/forums/topic/curl-error-7-failed-to-connect-to-localhost-port-8983-connection-refused/ ?

Can you connect if you deactivate Solr Basic Auth?

Yes, when basic auth is disabled or “blockUnknown” set to false in security.json, it works fine. Besides, if I gave bad credentials, it clearly shows error message saying “Bad Credentials”. So I think there is no issue reaching Solr. btw, we are on Solr 8.4.1.

Is it for Solr or SolrCloud?

My tests are fine with WPSOLR PRO 21.8, Solr 8.4.1, and Solr basic auth as described in https://javadeveloperzone.com/solr/securing-solr-setup-basic-authentication/

1) As expected: I could not connect without the user/pwd

2) As expected: I could create my index from WPSOLR, then index my documents, with the user/pwd

Looks like the issue is with passwords having # character. I reset my password to remove the # char and it is working now.

Try adding a # to Your password
curl –user solr:SolrRocks https://localhost:8983/solr/admin/authentication -H ‘Content-type:application/json’ -d ‘{“set-user”: {“solr” : “SolrRocks@123#”}}’
