principal usage

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Hi,
	I need suggestions from the OmniORB implementors. I need to identify the
principal as the method invocation responsible. As far as I can see
BOA::get_principal is unimplemented yet; however the client ORB initializes
its own per-process principal as "nobody" and as such it should be
transferred to the server as part of IIOP messaging. So I would like to
apply the following changes to OmniORB:
1. Implementing get_principal in order to fetch the above value at server
level.
2. Adding some way to set that value at client level; to my knowledge this
issue is uncovered by OMG core specs, excluding COSS security concerns. So
this point would need a non standard, dirty addition to the ORB
functionalities.
Comments and suggestions are welcome before I will start to implement the
above points.
Thanks,
