DataImport (DIH) Disabled by Default

Data Security

The Solr DataImport Handler is disabled across the whole Opensolr platform for security reasons. It is not gone: ask us and we will enable it on your index.

01 · Why it is off

DIH pulls data from a source you configure inside the index configuration, which makes it a powerful tool and, on a shared platform, a risky one. It is therefore off by default everywhere, rather than left on and audited after the fact.

02 · How to get it enabled

Ask through the contact form or by email

Use the Opensolr contact form or write to support@opensolr.com. Tell us the index name and what you are importing from.

We enable it per index

DIH is switched on for the indexes you name, not for the whole account and not for the whole server.

03 · Every index is password protected

HTTP authentication is mandatory on every Opensolr index. When you create a new one, the default credentials are:

FieldValue
Usernameopensolr
PasswordYour account Automation REST API key, shown in your Opensolr dashboard.

Change them whenever you want

Open your index control panel and use the Security tab in the left-hand menu. New credentials apply immediately.

Do not publish them in client-side code
