If you want to deploy basic authentication in a way that a login is required when creating collections it is only a simple matter of constrainting a url pattern (eg. /solr/admin/collections/*). Maybe this link will help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5323855/jetty-webserver-security/5332049#5332049
But keep in mind that intra-node requests in SolrCloud must also be authenticated (because http stack is used). If I understand correctly this is currently not possible.
