Getting Authentication Error when trying to connect search engine using Core Service

Question

I am getting error "Sending a request to the Search Engine at http://localhost:8983/tridion failed with the following response: The connection can not be authenticated." while executing the following code:

SearchQueryData filter = new SearchQueryData(); filter.Author = new LinkToUserData() { IdRef = "tcm:0-11-65552" }; filter.ItemTypes = new ItemType[] { ItemType.Component,ItemType.Page}; XElement results = client.GetSearchResultsXml(filter);

I have checked the User is added to the SDLSearchUsers group and same has been configured in MMC Settings.

Please find below the code block along with connection to core service

ChannelFactory factory = new ChannelFactory("basicHttp_2013")

NetworkCredential networkCredential = new NetworkCredential("Username", "password", "domain"); factory.Credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = networkCredential;

ICoreService client = factory.CreateChannel();

SearchQueryData filter = new SearchQueryData(); filter.FullTextQuery = "Home"; IdentifiableObjectData[] resultSearchData = client.GetSearchResults(filter);

Answer 1

have you tried just using your browser to hit the solr engine and log in as your user to make sure you can connect?

Answer 2

Based on the title of the question and some of the comments as well as your comment about changing the Indexer and Query Engine, it sounds like http://localhost:8983/tridion is a location of SOLR. What is the ip:port that Tridion CM is running on.

The code you provided is indeed for CoreServices and should be directed to Tridion and not SOLR. Your application should point to an endpoint something similar to

http://localhost:82/webservices/CoreService2013.svc/basicHttp

or

http://localhost:82/webservices/CoreService2013.svc/wsHttp

replacing 82 with the port on which the Tridion CM is running on.
