Manticore Search 27.1.5 adds built-in authentication and authorization controls

Manticore Search introduced native authentication and authorization features in release 27.1.5, covering SQL over the MySQL protocol, HTTP/HTTPS endpoints, and replication operations. The system supports MySQL password authentication, HTTP Basic auth, and HTTP Bearer tokens, giving developers multiple credential options without overhauling existing workflows. Permissions are organized around five actions — read, write, schema, replication, and admin — and can be scoped to specific indexes or patterns. Administrators are bootstrapped via a command-line process, after which separate limited-privilege users should be created for application-level access. Auth configuration is managed through the searchd section of the Manticore config file, with an adjustable logging level and credential data stored in a local auth.json file.
