I read that the authentication options in Xindice are on the TODO list:

I have noticed that the getCollection method has (id,username,password)
where username and password are used to authenticate the access to the
database.
I was wondering how it is possible to create a collection that is
protected by a (username,password) schema.
Not yet. It's still in the TODO, I hope to be able to come up with some
kind of (maybe rough) solution shortly.
You might look into all the new stuff in Java 1.4 rather than
inventing something. There's a lot of new APIs, such as the
Java Cryptography Extension and Java Authentication and
Authorization Service (JAAS). Between that and the logging
and preferences APIs it's taking a lot of the grunt work out
of a project. I currently have my own logging and preferences
code and am seriously considering dumping it in favour of
the new APIs (though I'm currently using Java 1.3.1).
Just my 2p.
