We solved this issue outside of Solr. As you've done, restrict the server to localhost access to Solr, add firewall rules to allow your developers on port 80, and proxypass allowed port 80 transfer to Solr. Remember to include the proxypassreverse too. (This runs on linux and apache httpd btw.)

Hello Solr-Friends, I have a question about working with solr which is installed on a remote server. I have a php-project with a very big mysql-database of about 10gb and I am also using solr for about 10,000,000 entries indexed for fast search and access of the mysql-data. I have a local copy myself so I can continue to work on the php-project itself, but I want to make it available for more developers too. How can I make solr accessable ONLY for those exclusive developers? For mysql it's no problem to add an additional mysql-user with limited access. But for Solr it seems difficult to me. I have had my administrator restrict the java-port 8080 to localhost only. That way no one outside can access solr or the solr-admin interface. How can I allow access to other developers without making the whole solr-interface (port 8080) available to the public? Thanks, Stavros
