Installing and configuring Solr 6

When you install SkyVault Community Edition 5.2 using the setup wizard (installer), Solr 4 is installed by default. For additional search functionality, you can install SkyVault Search Services with Solr 6 which introduces additional features, including new sharding methods and sharding with SSL. It can optionally be configured with or without SSL.

You may choose to secure SkyVault Search Services by installing Solr 6 with SSL enabled.

Note: When choosing to secure Solr 6 with SSL, be aware that there is a known issue when using Solr 6 where the SSL truststore and keystore passwords are visible as plain text in the Solr 6 process arguments. SkyVault recommends that you ensure the server running Solr 6 is security hardened and access is restricted to admin users only. For more information, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8897.

SkyVault Search Services supports all SkyVault Community Edition 5.2 certified platforms and components. For more information, see Supported Platforms.
