Solr basic authentication without setting credentials for each request

Question

Currently I am using SOLR basic authentication feature on my SOLR cloud using Solrj library. According to documentation and only way I found, the code looks like this -

SolrRequest<QueryResponse> req = new QueryRequest(solrQuery); 
req.setBasicAuthCredentials("admin", "foobar");
QueryResponse rsp = req.process(solrClient, liveStreamCollection);
documentList = rsp.getResults();

I am wondering if there is a way to avoid setBasicAuthCredentials for each request and perform it only once per session on solrClient?

Edit

Above approach worked both for SolrClient and SolrCloudClient (both core and collection). To avoid passing basic credentials for each request, I tried to build and use a HttpClient like this.

AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope("192.168.x.x", 8983);
UsernamePasswordCredentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "foobar");
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credsProvider.setCredentials(authScope, creds);
HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClientBuilder.create();
builder.addInterceptorFirst(new PreemptiveAuthInterceptor());
builder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider);
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = builder.build();
solrClient = new HttpSolrClient("http://192.168.x.x:8983/solr/", httpClient);

And the PreemptiveAuthInterceptor class:

static class PreemptiveAuthInterceptor implements HttpRequestInterceptor {

    @Override
    public void process(final HttpRequest request, final HttpContext context) throws HttpException, IOException {
        AuthState authState = (AuthState) context.getAttribute(HttpClientContext.TARGET_AUTH_STATE);
        // If no auth scheme available yet, try to initialize it preemptively
        if (authState.getAuthScheme() == null) {
            CredentialsProvider credsProvider = (CredentialsProvider) 
                        context.getAttribute(HttpClientContext.CREDS_PROVIDER);
            HttpHost targetHost = (HttpHost) context.getAttribute(HttpCoreContext.HTTP_TARGET_HOST);
            AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope(targetHost.getHostName(), targetHost.getPort());
            Credentials creds = credsProvider.getCredentials(authScope);
            if(creds == null){

            }
            authState.update(new BasicScheme(), creds);
        }

    }
}

This worked for a single machine Solr core but I don't know how to use this with Solr cloud(passing Zookeeper hosts etc). Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
