Solr and security

Hi Group,
               As far as I know, to use solr, we need to
deploy it as  a server and communicate to solr using http
protocol. How about its security? i.e. how can we ensure
that it only accepts request from predefined set of users
only. Is there any way we can specify this in solr or solr
depends only on web server security model. I am not sure
whether my interpretation is right?
  Your suggestion/input?

One effective method is to block access to the port Solr
runs on. Force
application access to come thru the HTTP server, and let it
map to the
application server (i.e., like mod_jk does for for Apache
& Tomcat).
Simple, but effective.

Cheers!
