Description

Windows server checks the access permission of a share folder and the security permission of a file document when we access a file via network.
As far as I look into that, Windows does not take subfolder's security permissions into account.

There is a case that someone who is admin wants to configure 'Everyone' for 'share folders' and configure each access permissions for 'sub folders'.
E.g. \\ShareFolder\Admin --> Admin folder for administrative user, \\ShareFolder\Sales --> Sales folder for sales user.

The users put files in 'sub folders', then the permission of these files will be inherited from the permission of 'sub folders'.

I'd like to support access permissions for 'sub folders' in jcifs/solr connector.
In general, we expect file's permission to be inherited from parent folder.
So I want to manage parent's security by providing new [allow|deny]_token fields.
