Hi Liam, The maxBooleanClauses option applies only to query clauses in a BooleanQuery. The ManifoldCF security presented in SOLR-1895 is based on filters exclusively, which are boolean bitmaps. Native filters do not adhere to the same restriction, unlike if you'd built a filter based on a BooleanQuery. So you should not run into a "maximum clauses exceeded" problem using the patch.
May I ask what sort of authority you are planning on using?
