The original question was something like "why does the code for the
authenticator check for a principal twice?", which seems like a valid
question. Apparently, AuthenticatorBase checks for a Principal and,
finding none, calls the subclass's method. The subclass's method again
checks for a Principal. I see that as good protection against unexpected
changes from the superclass (i.e. in case it /does not/ check for a
Principal), but the OP wants to know why.
