Quickly add SSL to Solr

There have been several people recently who I’ve seen having trouble setting up SSL for their Solr in order to use it with Sitecore 9. So, I present the following gist to you. It’s designed to automate the complete setup process of adding SSL to Solr with a self-signed certificate, and trusting that self-signed certificate. For production setups with a real certificate, it should be quite easy to modify.

It’s been tested on standalone as well as Bitnami Solr. The script requires Windows 10 to use the Import-PfxCertificate cmdlet; if you don’t have that you can remove the trust scripting and do it manually.
