🔑 Opensolr Index HTTP Authentication Policy

It is now mandatory that every Opensolr index is protected with HTTP authentication to ensure security and privacy.

🚀 Default Credentials for New Indexes

When you create a new index, Opensolr automatically sets up HTTP Auth credentials:

• Username:
  opensolr
• Password:
  Your account’s Automation REST API KEY

You can find your API KEY in your Opensolr dashboard.

🛠️ How to Change HTTP Auth Credentials

You may change your HTTP Auth username and password at any time:

1. Go to your Opensolr Index Control Panel.
2. Click the Security tab on the left menu.
3. Update your credentials as needed.

⚠️ Important Notes on API Keys

• When you generate a new API KEY in your Control Panel Dashboard:
  • Newly created indexes will use the new API KEY as their password.
  • Existing indexes will keep their old API KEY as the password.
    (Regenerating your API KEY does not change the password for indexes you created earlier.)

If you want to update the password for an existing index, change it manually in the Security tab.

💡 Pro Tip

• Keep your API KEY confidential—it acts as the password for HTTP authentication.
• Regularly review and update your credentials, especially if you rotate API keys for security.
