if you're using Jetty you can use the standard realms mechanism for Basic Auth, and it works the same on Windows or UNIX. There's plenty of docs on the Jetty site about getting this working, although it does vary somewhat depending on the version of Jetty you're running (N.B. I would suggest using Jetty 9, and not 8, as 8 is missing some key authentication classes). If, when you execute a search query to your Solr instance you get a username and password popup, then Jetty's auth is setup. If you don't then something's wrong in the Jetty config.
it's worth noting that if you're doing distributed searches Basic Auth on its own will not work for you. This is because Solr sends distributed requests to remote instances on behalf of the user, and it has no knowledge of the web container's auth mechanics. We got 'round this by customizing Solr to receive credentials and use them for authentication to remote instances - SOLR-1861 is an old implementation for a previous release, and there has been some significant refactoring of SearchHandler since then, but the concept works well for distributed queries.
