That rings a bell. I seem to recall that if the resource isn't
protected by a <security-constraint> then getUserPrincipal will return
null during that request.

That may only be when Tomcat is doing it's own authentication, though.
I suspect that if you (or the AJP connector) sets the principal in the
request, it's there regardless of the authentication settings of Tomcat.
