Thanks Mark for the tip. I've tried out JCIFS and it's just what the doctor ordered. I've used NTLM SSO to authenticate the User against the NTFS file server and then I can filter out the search results returned based on the user's access rights.
I've completed the authentication and authorization components and now I have to concentrate on the Lucene side of things (indexing & searching). I should have a better idea of the performance impact after completing these. If anyone is interested in my solution I'd be glad to share it with the list once it's complete. >From: mark harwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Searching an NTFS File Server >Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2005 10:56:22 GMT >I have used JCIFS before (http://jcifs.samba.org/) to handle single-sign-on >of Windows clients to my web apps and it works very well.
