I just realized that I had an error in the posted code above. It didn't use the org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory defined in the env hashtable. I've changed it and got different set of errors before able to connect to the JMS. I need to look into it more. Will post result later. Meanwhile if there is a standard way of passing the security principal / credential information from client to the JMS server, please let me know.
