Solr security

Note: Every installation is supplied with a generic certificate and SSL keys. For security reasons, it is advised that you generate a new set of keys to secure you Solr communication and access to the Solr Admin Console. For more information, see Configuring Solr and Generating secure keys for Solr communication.
