Pull request overview
Fixes reference-guide documentation around the JWT Authentication Plugin’s blockUnknown default, clarifying that it defaults to false (unauthenticated requests pass through unless explicitly blocked), and adds upgrade-note guidance for users who relied on the previously incorrect docs.
Changes:
- Correct
blockUnknowndefault documentation in the JWT plugin reference page and add a warning callout about the prior documentation error. - Add an upgrade-notes entry (Solr 9.11) advising users to explicitly set
"blockUnknown": trueif they relied on the incorrect documented default. - Add an unreleased changelog fragment for SOLR-18216.
