For version below 5

If you are using solr-webapp then you need to modify web.xml file and add these lines:

    
      Solr Lockdown
      /
    
    
      solr_admin
      admin
    
  
  
    BASIC
    Solr
   

For Jetty server, you need to add below lines in /example/etc/webdefault.xml

    
      Solr authenticated application
      /
    
    
      **admin-role**
    
  

  
    BASIC
    Test Realm
  

Update /example/etc/jetty.xml file

      
        
          Test Realm
          /etc/realm.properties
          0
        
      
    

/example/etc/realm.properties :

admin: s3cr3t, admin-role

Username = admin password = s3cr3t. Role name = admin-role

Solr version 5+

In latest Solr version folder structure got changed. You will find all files in below folder-path.

{SOLR_HOME}/server/etc/jetty.xml {SOLR_HOME}/server/etc/webdefault.xml

Create new credential file at {SOLR_HOME}/server/etc/realm.properties:

admin: s3cr3t, admin-role
