IDfSession session = null;
IDfSessionManager sMgr = null;
try
{
IDfClient client = new DfClient().getLocalClient();
sMgr = client.newSessionManager();
IDfLoginInfo loginInfo = new DfLoginInfo();
loginInfo.setUser( "documentum" );
loginInfo.setPassword( "solutions" );
sMgr.setIdentity( "dev_doc", loginInfo );
session = sMgr.getSession( "dev_doc" );
System.out.println("Session created !!");
IDfUser userObj = null;
userObj = (IDfUser)session.newObject( "dm_user" );
// Seting client capability as 'contributor'
