Some of the audit log method have the username passed in explicitly and so get correctly logged. Some others however don't, in which case the audit logger uses Subject.getSubject(context) in an attempt to acquire the caller. But within broker I believe most of the operations doesn't associated the subject/caller in this way, so it will return null. In other words, it doesn't work. I think the simple way to solve this is pass the username explicitly to the auditlogger. I'd suggest you raise the JIRA bug for that and link it with ARTEMIS-2648.
