Validation of current credentials during query processing
If security is enabled for a collection when it is created, certain types of domains enable you to validate a user's current credentials when the user submits a query.
Before responding to a query, the search servers interface with the target repositories to validate the user's current permissions, and then remove all documents that the user does not have permission to view from the search results.

Current user credentials can also be validated when users use the Search portlet for enterprise search collections in WebSphere® Portal. Credential validation is not supported when users use the stand-alone enterprise search application to search sources on a WebSphere Portal server. To validate current credentials through the Search portlet, configure the Seed list crawler.
