Why would the indexing solution have to deal with authentication?  IMO,
the authentication should be separate from indexing and searching.

We use swish-e as the engine for indexing/searching here, on top of
an Apache server.  Apache itself (with plugins) performs ALL 
authentication
and authorization functions before our application gets control; in fact,
our application knows NOTHING about it, aside from being given the
authenticated user name.  (If authentication fails, our app never even
gets invoked.)
