Solr 4 with basic authentication

Question

I am trying to connect to solr using solrj. My solr instance runs in jetty and is protected with basic authentication. I found these links that contain relevant information.

Answer 1

You need to add the JAR solr-solrj-4.0.0.jar for HttpClientUtil.

Then use the below code:

HttpSolrServer solrServer = new HttpSolrServer("http://localhost:8080/solr/"+url);     
HttpClientUtil.setBasicAuth((DefaultHttpClient) solrServer.getHttpClient(), "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");

That worked for me on Jdk 1.6 and tomcat 6
