I see in the release notes for 3.2.4RC1 it says:

anonymous wrote : Use the RealmMapping to obtain the CallerPrincipal mapping as the
  |          Principal returned from the authenticate methods. This allows a custom
  |          principal installed by a JAAS login module to be seen in the 
HttpServletRequest
  |          getUserPrincipal call.

I guess that is explaining the behaviour I see.

I'm not clear why this feature exists.  Is it just a convenience thing to map the user 
name to some other name.  In what scenario is that useful/necessary?

Thanks
Martin
