---------------------------------------------

You are in luck. Basic authentication has been added for the next release (5.3). See SOLR-7837.

Also, Solr has supported SSL for a while now, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Enabling+SSL

> Out of the box, the Solr interface should require an administrative password that the user is required to set. Apparently there are ways of configuring Jetty to do this with HTTP AUTH or whatever. I'm a moderately experienced Linux admin and a programmer; I've tried, numerous times, and I've not once been able to get it to work. The point is this, though:
> *No one should have to try to get their Solr instance to support password authentication and preferably SSL (even if it's just with a self-signed certificate). Solr is designed to store huge amounts of data and is therefore a likely target for malicious users.*
> This needs to be addressed! It's 2015 and Solr is on version 5!
