Hi Jacek,

Thanks for the help.  Here's the story:

If I set up a simple EJB (like the ones used in the OpenEJB remote
tests) and call it remotely it works fine if I specify the 4
parameters needed in code

        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("java.naming.factory.initial", 
"org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory");
        p.put("java.naming.provider.url", "127.0.0.1:4201");
        p.put("java.naming.security.principal", "myuser");
        p.put("java.naming.security.credentials", "mypass");

And it also works if I put the first two on the command line

        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("java.naming.security.principal", "myuser");
        p.put("java.naming.security.credentials", "mypass");

$ java 
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory 
-Djava.naming.provider.url=127.0.0.1:4201 etc...

but if I try to put the java.naming.security.principal on the command
line

        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("java.naming.security.credentials", "mypass");

$ java 
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.openejb.client.RemoteInitialContextFactory 
-Djava.naming.provider.url=127.0.0.1:4201  
-Djava.naming.security.principal=myuser etc...

then I get

javax.naming.ConfigurationException: Context property cannot be null: 
java.naming.security.principal

        at g6o.ServerUnitTest.testPing(ServerUnitTest.java:95)

I thought that perhaps junit wasn't passing the properties through,
but since the first two get propagated I think that's not likely to be
the problem.

If you'd like me to send you code please let me know.
