Please follow up with tomcat-user for more detail if needed

GenericPrincipal lives in the server's classloader. Webapps do not have access
to any of the classes in the server classloader. To allow access, you can add
the attribute privileged="true" to your Context declaration - but this does open
security holes since it allows the webapp to access catalina internals.
