Using JBoss 3.0.3:
I'm trying to get my MessageDrivenBean to access session beans in my app'n server using 'run-as'
I can't get it to work. I'm sure this role has the authority to access the session beans. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

First problem is I get:
WARN [SecurityManager] No SecurityMetadadata was available for ImportMessageProcessor adding default security conf

and finally when I try to get a reference to my session beans I get principal=null

The stacktrace is as follows:

17:21:59,437 ERROR [SecurityInterceptor] Authentication exception, principal=null
17:21:59,437 ERROR [LogInterceptor] EJBException, causedBy:

Below is my ejb-jar.xml message-driven entry:

<message-driven>
<ejb-name>ImportMessageProcessor</ejb-name>
<ejb-class>ImportMessageProcessor</ejb-class>
<message-selector></message-selector>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
<acknowledge-mode>Auto-acknowledge</acknowledge-mode>
<message-driven-destination>
<destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</destination-type>
</message-driven-destination>
<security-identity>
<run-as>
<role-name>G.I.Joe</role-name>
</run-as>
</security-identity>
</message-driven>
