Why do you need to disable the admin interface? The admin interface is just a bunch of HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It downloads code that runs inside your browser and turns it into a tool that can manipulate Solr. The parts of Solr that need protecting are the APIs that the admin interface calls. When authentication is enabled in the newest Solr versions, it is not the admin interface that is protected, it is those APIs called by the admin interface. Anyone can use those APIs directly, completely independent of the interface. Thanks Shawn
