Retrieving documents from UCM

Question

Hi
I have created a webcenter portal application that retrieves contents from UCM using the RIDC api. Currently any ucm user is able to access any document from UCM. I want the application to work such that a particular user say 'x' is able to access only a set of documents and another user say 'y' is not able to access those documents.
This is my java code:
try{
IdcClientManager manager = new IdcClientManager();
IdcClient idcClient = manager.createClient("idc://aisdell59.oracle.com:4444");
IdcContext userContext = new IdcContext ("temp_user");
// populate the binder with the parameters
DataBinder dataBinder = idcClient.createBinder();
dataBinder.putLocal("IdcService", "GET_FILE");
dataBinder.putLocal("dDocName",dDocName);
dataBinder.putLocal("RevisionSelectionMethod","LatestReleased");
dataBinder.putLocal("Rendition","Web");
ServiceResponse response1 = idcClient.sendRequest (userContext, dataBinder);
InputStream content= response1.getResponseStream() ;
How can i achieve this security?
Thanks and Regards

First of all, is there a specific reason why you are building your own component and not using the content presenter or other OOTB taskflows? These taskflows automaticly propagate the security to UCM.
If you really want your own component than you should replace following line:
IdcContext userContext = new IdcContext ("temp_user"); With:
String user =  ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext().getUserName();
IdcContext userContext = new IdcContext (user); This way the current logged in user will be propagated to the IdcContext and thus it will only return the document that are accessible by the user.
