As of Content Services 7.2 and/or Search services 2.0.3, the repository <–> Solr communication requires authentication. The playbook will set up that authentication scheme using the new secret method. This methods need to be passed a shared secret. In order to do so use the variable below:

reposearch_shared_secret: dummy
Note:

Do not use a secret called dummy as shown above, but use a stronger secret.

This secret should be placed either in the inventory file under the all group scope, or passed as an extra variable (it needs to be available to the localhost hostvars array of variables).

Note: Should you forget to provide that shared secret, the playbook will generate a random one. While that may sound convenient, keep in mind that doing so will break the idempotency of the playbook, and the shared secret will be updated every time you run the playbook.
