[jboss-user] [Security & JAAS/JBoss] - Accessing a secure EJB from standalone Java client

[jej2003]

I am attempting to connect to an EJB that is under a JAAS Domain which has unauthenticated access support via the unauthenticatedIdentity attribute in my login-config.xml.  If I provide the appropriate information when building my initalcontext (a valid username and password) everything works fine.  But if I attempt to connect to without specifying a username/password I get 

  | Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
  | 	at org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory.getInitialContext(JndiLoginInitialContextFactory.java:95)
  | 	at javax.naming.spi.NamingManager.getInitialContext(Unknown Source)
  | 	at javax.naming.InitialContext.getDefaultInitCtx(Unknown Source)
  | 	at javax.naming.InitialContext.init(Unknown Source)
  | 	at javax.naming.InitialContext.<init>(Unknown Source)
  | 	at com.csp.ejb.authentication.AuthenticationBean.getInitialContext(AuthenticationBean.java:76)
  | 	at com.csp.test.client.Client.main(Client.java:60)
  | 

If I set the user name as guest and then try to create the InitalContext I get AuthenticationDenied for all functions.

My question is how do I make a connection to the server using the unauthenticated user?
