Authentication for user denied in realm weblogic

Question

Hi,
I was testing distributing EJB's to different server with their client and kept
hitting my head to the wall with the following problem almost the whole day:
Stacktrace = javax.naming.AuthenticationException. Root exception is java.lang.SecurityException:
Authentication for user masters2 denied in realm weblogic at weblogic.security.acl.Realm.authenticate(Realm.java:212)
at weblogic.security.acl.Realm.getAuthenticatedName(Realm.java:233) at weblogic.security.acl.internal.Security.authenticate(Security.java:125)

It seems that the problem was with an error with weblogic documentation about
getting InitialContext. The example code from bea was:
Context ctx = getInitialContext("t3://localhost:7001", "user1", "user1Password");
static Context getInitialContext(String url, String user, String password) {
Properties h = new Properties();
h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
h.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
h.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
return new InitialContext(h);
Funnily, password is not used....after realising that I added line
h.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
and the code works. Is it possible that this was the problem (and documentation
has been incorrect for years now) or was there something that I missed?

static Context getInitialContext(String url, String user, String password){>
Properties h = new Properties();
h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
h.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
h.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
return new InitialContext(h);
Funnily, password is not used....after realising that I added line
h.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
and the code works. Is it possible that this was the problem (anddocumentation
has been incorrect for years now) or was there something that I missed?ya, that was the problem if you refering to:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/ejb/EJB_design.html#1035574
we will get that corrected.
cheers,
