[htdig] Use of access rights

[Hergeth, J. <J.H...@ai...>]

Is there a way to honour access right when using htdig?

To describe the problem in more detail:
We have files and directories which should be searched. But the =
different folders have different access rights. So different users see =
some folders but others not. We would like to have one htdig database =
but present the user only those search results he has read access to.

Is this already existing?
Could it be implemented by attaching meta keywords (the name of all =
users with read access) to each individual document during the "dig" =
phase. And then restricting the search to all documents with the current =
users name in the meta keywords plus a "standard search" for the rest of =
the search words?

I know there are security issues with that. Specially using one database =
may generate problems (or at least questions). But I think this could be =
solved in a second step.

Any advise or comment is welcome.
