Which type of authentication are you using.  I find that SSL-Slient
authentication causes getUserPrincipal() (or getRemoteUser()) to return
null.  I don't know why this is.  BASIC or DIGEST authentication should work
OK, though.

If you describe your problem to me again, I may have some insights as I am
currently working on something similar.

Kind regards,

Chris Williams.
