"cannot perform access control without an authenticated prin

[sushant248]

As discussed in the startguide.pdf (section 2.2.3 Security Service) of JBoss 4.0.3, i made the changes (basically uncommented code) in jboss-web.xml and web.xml in WEB-INF directory. The JMX-console was working fine earlier but after making the changes, I'm getting "cannot perform access control without an authenticated principal" exception when I click on jmx-console. The document said "If you've configured everything correctly and re-deployed the application, the next time you try to access the JMX Console, JBoss will ask you for a name and password."
Please help

I'm just having the same problem with JBoss 4.0.4 RC1.. Any solution?

Did you also make sure your application policy that matches the security domain in your login-config.xml file is uncommented?
