So, building on this: 1) Velocity is an option for internal admin interface because it is collocated with Solr and therefore does not 'hide' it 2) Blacklight is the (Rails-based) application layer and the Solr is internal behind it, so it does provide the security.
Hope this helps to understand the distinction. Regards, Alex.
