That is the correct way to get it, however it appears that you are
creating it slightly incorrectly. This line:
info = new SimpleAuthenticationInfo(principals,
password.toCharArray(), getName());
is not calling the constructor that you expect. It is calling (Object,
Object, String) - where the first object is "the primary principal".
Instead, change it to:
info = new SimpleAuthenticationInfo(principals,
password.toCharArray());
which should call (PrincipalCollection, Object). You don't need to
specify the realm name again, since you've already specified it when
adding principals to the principal collection.
Hope that helps,
Jared
