Restrict solr to localhost, then use apache/nginx/whatever in front of it, to serve as a reverse proxy and enforce access control. If you have content with access restrictions, you may also want to involve some sort of component that adds user-specific access filters to each query. Note: this becomes somewhat more complex if you want to feed content from other servers - in that case, you need to provide filters also for /update (and possibly upodate/request).
