Solr itself does not contain any security mechanisms, because Solr does not own *any* of the network communication layers where such security must be implemented. It is not currently possible for Solr to implement any reasonable security mechanisms. Eventually (hopefully in the near future), Solr will be a completely standalone application that does not rely on a servlet container, and when that happens, it will be possible to implement security within Solr itself. Right now, configuring SSL is not very hard, and you can also enable authentication in the servlet container. It's my understanding that using certificate-based authentication works already, but if you configure basic authentication (username/password), you will find any kind of distributed searching (including SolrCloud) will not function correctly. This is because Solr does not currently have any mechanism to provide the username/password when communicating with another instance. Thanks, Shawn

Dependency Need to include for embedded solr.
Hi all, I need to include embed solr server into my maven project. I am going to use latest solr 5.0.0. Need to know which dependencies I need to include in my project. As I understand, I need to have solr-core[1] and solr-solrj[2]. Do I need to include lucene dependency in my project. If so, which dependencies we need to include to enable all indexing capabilities. 1. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.solr/solr-core/5.0.0 2. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.solr/solr-solrj/5.0.0 Please help Thanks Danesh

A lot of Solr functionality is not available in the embedded server. You can't use SolrCloud, which is a relatively easy way to provide high availability. The legacy method for redundancy, master-slave replication, also does not work in the embedded server. The admin UI is not available. If you choose to go ahead with the embedded server ... for complete safety, you should probably extract the war file and copy all the jars from WEB-INF/lib. If you want to take a more minimalistic approach, I think these are the Lucene jars you will need for minimum functionality: lucene-analyzers-common-5.0.0.jar lucene-codecs-5.0.0.jar lucene-core-5.0.0.jar lucene-expressions-5.0.0.jar lucene-queries-5.0.0.jar lucene-queryparser-5.0.0.jar There are quite a few Lucene jars, and I'm not overly familiar with everything that Solr uses, so I might have left some out that would be required for very basic functionality. For more advanced functionality, additional Lucene jars will definitely be required. There are also third-party jars that are required, such as slf4j jars for logging. The codebase as a whole has dependencies on things like google guava, several apache commons jars, and other pieces ... I have no idea which of those can be left out when using the embedded server. I tried to find a definitive list of required jars, and was not able to locate one. Thanks, Shawn

Thanks Shawn, My application is a standalone application. I though of embedding solr server, so I can pack it inside my application. In solr 5.0.0, solr is no longer distributed as a war file. how I can find the war file from the distribution.
