Hello, I'm testing the authentication mechanism in JBoss AS 7. I tried to access the caller principal (mainly to display the princiapl's name). But the Method SecurityAssociation.getCallerPrincipal() always returns null. if(!server) return principal; where principal is null I tested it with BasicAuthentication and JBoss Negotiation, in both cases the caller principal is null. Compared to JBoss AS 5, the principal is set. Could this be an error or is the method not implemented correctly (yet)? Regards, Christoph

Hi Anil, are you talking about org.jboss.security.SecurityAssociation? I'm using that (can see it in PicketBox 4.0.0.Beta3) currently on AS7, most probably my tests go through different usage and both set and get the principal. Can you point me to some doc or share info on what's going to be used instead of it?
