I will repeat that we have seen that Orion's InitialContext and Principal identity
features do not work. They do not work in servlets, they do not work in client apps.
They do not work for JMS. They do not work, Sam I am. We have given up on using any
container authentication short of "guest". This is only for "dynamic" identities.
It appears that static identity via the 'jndi.properties' file works ok.

We use Orion with standalone Java client applications. They work fine.
Except for authentication, which does not work.
