Description

Currently Janus graph requires index Solr backend to be unsecured to work.
In some usage scenarios (e.g. production) it is unacceptable.

It is desirable to add support for any of the standard security mechanisms offered by Solr e.g.:
- SSL client side authentication (preferred)
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_2/enabling-ssl.html#index-a-document-using-cloudsolrclient

- HTTP basic auth with user/password (basic)
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_2/basic-authentication-plugin.html#using-basic-auth-with-solrj

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing Solr index backend configuration and reviewing the linked Solr security documentation; done should include support for SSL client authentication and HTTP basic authentication without requiring an unsecured Solr backend.
