Arved,

Thanks for your help so far. I am down to one last problem. We are using
Orion 1.4.0, and there appears to be some sort of bug in the InitialContext.
I am setting up the environment in my servlet:

   Properties env = new Properties();
   env.put(
      "java.naming.factory.initial",
      "com.evermind.server.ApplicationInitialContextFactory" );
   env.put( "java.naming.provider.url", "ormi://localhost/appname" );
   env.put( "java.naming.security.principal", "appuser" );
   env.put( "java.naming.security.credentials", "password" );
   InitialContext iCtx = new InitialContext( env );

No matter how I set up env, it does not work with respect to identity.

When I print out the InitialContext, it has all of my ejb-ref's bound
to it. HOWEVER, it does not have any "environment" established at all
(IOW, iCtx.getEnvironment() gives back an empty Hashtable). And when
I access my SB's, I am considered a 'guest' user. If I take permissions
off the SB's, I am able to access and use them. As soon as I put the
permissions back, I am rejected. It is ignoring my principal and
credentials completely!

Do you establish any identity via the InitialContext in your servlet?

Is this a know bug? I can not find it anywhere in BugZilla, which has
a very poor searching interface.
