Stanbol security only makes a difference if the services you're using
require some special privileges (i.e. Permissions the anonymous user has
not). Is this the case for the stateless services you're using?

Ok, for the felix webconsole by checking for AllPermissions a security
check is performed even if no security policy has been set (i.e. stanbol
has been started without -s) to avoid double login with different
credential in you usecase this should be disabled.

That's true. Solr needs to firewalled or security configured via the
