> The Broker uses the idiom Subject.getPrincipals.iterator().next() in a couple of places to find the principal corresponding to the username of the logged on user.   This assumes that corresponding principal will always be returned first.  This may not be a safe assumption across different JVM providers, different JVM versions or when running Qpid with a container.
> This should be replaced by our utility methods AuthenticatedPrincipal#getOptionalAuthenticatedPrincipalFromSubject and
> AuthenticatedPrincipal#getAuthenticatedPrincipalFromSubject
