Enable authentication in solr admin running with solr 6.1 and jetty

Pre condition:

1. Solr version 6.1

2. Solr is running successfully in the system

3. Solr Admin running through jetty

Process:

1. Edit jetty.xml

Edit the file “server/etc/jetty.xml” Add following before the Configure tag ends

      
        
          Test Realm
          /etc/realm.properties
          0
        
      
    

2. Edit webdefault.xml

Edit the file “server/etc/webdefault.xml” Add following before the web-app tag ends

    
      Solr authenticated application
      /
    
    
      core1-role
    
  

  
    BASIC
    Test Realm
  

Special Note:

Value used in the role-name tag need to be same used in “realm.properties” file

3. Create new file “realm.properties”

Create a file named “realm.properties” in the location “server/etc/” and put the below content

admin: admin123,core1-role

User Name: admin

Password: admin123

Role name: core1-role

(This need to be same as the name used in role-name tag in server/etc/webdefault.xml” file )

4. Final Step

Restart Solr server

Now access Solr in your browser http://localhost:8983/solr/ You will find the browser is asking for username and password. Enter the username and password.
