Sririam - would you care to add some info to the wiki on your findings?
While access manager is not part of JCR, woudl be nice to have a wiki page
on how to use it effectively to create ACLs as you are doing.

I'm working on the above right now. Then authentication for the normal
user as well as the AccessManager works fine. Thanks all who have
responded.
However, after the access is granted, I get an Exception at the point
of accessing the Node. I'll post this on a separate thread.
