blocking access by user-agent

Hi,

I would like to control what applications get access to the solr 
database. I am using jetty as the appcontainer.

Is this at all achievable? If yes, how?

Internet search has not yielded anything I could use so far.

Thanks in advance.

Roland

Thanks Patrick,

Would you have any idea in what directory to place the .htaccess file to 
block all information retrieval?

I am not sure HTAccessHandler of jetty supports all its commands. This 
site however implies that it does have the ones for user-agent blocking.

:
http://www.irishwebmasterforum.com/coding-help/7692-block-useragent-with-htaccess.html

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; 
Windows NT 5.1; SV1) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Zeus
RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L]


regards,

Roland

Hi Roland,

you can configure Jetty to use a simple .htaccess file to allow only
specific IP adresses access to your webapp. Have a look here on how to do
thta:

http://www.viaboxxsystems.de/how-to-configure-your-jetty-webapp-to-grant-access-for-dedicated-ip-addresses-only

If you want more sophisticated access control, you need it to be included
in an extra layer between Solr and the devices accressing your Solr
instance.
