The Solr connector does not currently support https. But adding this functionality is not very hard. If this is functionality you are looking for, could you create a ticket in Jira? https://issues.apache.org
ManifoldCF is unusual in that each connection that supports SSL has its own trust store. There's support in the ManifoldCF core classes for such trust stores, which makes it pretty straightforward. The trickiest part of the whole thing is adding support for your trust certs to the connector's UI, and for that there are lots of examples to work with. I'd especially look at the Web Connector, which has a "trust everything" checkbox you can check, as well as trusting whatever certs you drop into each connection's trust store. When you've decided exactly what it is you need, enter that in the ticket as well. I don't know if you are in a position to contribute any work towards ManifoldCF, but if you are, I can help you develop a patch that I'd be happy to commit. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee precisely when I'd get to it.
