As far as I can remember the spec states that the server should provide the
ability for a bean to do "new InitialContext()" to get a context that is
implemented by the server. This was discussed some time ago regarding how to
lookup bean settings ("comp/ejb"?). I suspect authentication is performed on a
server basis (ie the server is authenticated and not the bean/bean caller), but
I'm not sure.
Just my 2 SEK IMHO FWIW etc :)
