Hi Lalit,

About Alfresco: do you see any user security information in this record?  I
don't.  Without that iinformation, I don't see how security can be done.
Perhaps there's another way to get at it?

About Solr:  Have you installed the appropriate ManifoldCF Solr Plugin into
your solr instance yet?  You drop down a jar, and then you need to include
one of the plugin filtering classes in your query parsing or component
processing chains in Solr.  You will also need a way of getting an
authenticated user into your Solr query so that the plugin can see it.

Karl
