Use an Apache Rewrite Directive to protect an exposed Solr endpoint.

#Apply a Rewrite Directive to a Solr Instance#

After exposing the Solr endpoint with a reverse proxy, it’s important to note that it also exposes the Solr admin panel to the end-user. This is not desired.

##Problem##

• Solr’s admin panel becomes exposed from the reverse proxy.

##Solution##

• Perform a redirect to website.com’s homepage.
• RewriteRule directive, mod_rewrite – Apache HTTP Server.

RewriteRule ^/solr/$ / [R=301,L,DPI]
