Description
Currently the ome.system.Login class refuses name==null and password==null, but this is precisely the values that JBoss uses to determine a guest (or anonymous) user. There should be a public final static constant on Login which can be used for anonymous login, and there'll need to be a user "guest" in the db, otherwise the SecuritySystem queries will fail.
Once this is done, an "anonymous" user should be added to the Read and Write tests.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
Merged into #864.
r915 provides a first attempt. This doesn't work for the silly reason that Hashtable doesn't permit null values. We'll have to find a way to send the Principal without the Properties (inherits from Hashtable) intermediary.
