I've been thinking about how to do this in any way let alone a portable way.
My problem is that I can't seem to get my hands on the password for the user
returned by getCallerPrincipal(). If I could do that I could use the pooled
connections and "bind" to the database (well in my case it's a directory, but
should be the same) when the per caller principle connection is needed.
If you have any suggestions on how to access the password, I'd be interested.
