Normally, this would be done by firewall-level access control, e.g., through iptables if you are on a Linux server. Please see also http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrSecurity . Searching Google also turns up other possibilities which might be more appropriate to your specific Solr setup. Regards, Gora
