Configure Solr
By default, the Apache Solr search server is installed with Intrexx. It provides the search functionality for your portal.
By default, the Apache Solr search server is installed on the same server as Intrexx. Therefore, the default host is "127.0.0.1" (localhost). The suggested port is 8983.
However, you also have the option of installing the Apache Solr search server on another server. In that case, you need to adjust the specifications accordingly.
The Intrexx Portal Server uses the user and password for authentication to the Solr search server. Change default authentication data.
