Otis, May I ask you how do you go about handling user access privileges? I mean you need some mechanism how to get user privileges from corporate environment (LDAP for example) and filter returned hits using document access policy. Also you may be caching these informations as well for performance reasons (refreshing once a day for example). Do you use some general open framework or ad-hoc code?
