Ahh... well there's a big difference between the two. The question is, which
do your components need: the logical principal or the actual principal? What
are your components going to do with the principal information?

Sure, you could do something something like:
<codeSnippet language="C#">
HttpContext currentHttpContext = HttpContext.Current;
IPrincipal currentPrincipal;
if(currentHttpContext != null)
{
currentPrincipal = currentHttpContext.User;
}
else
{
currentPrincipal = Thread.CurrentPrincipal;
}
... use principal here ...
</codeSnippet>
