Ok, I see where you are setting the principal via an application event and I
saw the code where you are generating the principal earlier, but it isn't
clear how they are working together. Is the principal is getting added to
the session as part of the login process?

My suspicion is that an event downstream from is sticking a different
principal in the context after your code has already run. It may also be
the case that your code isn't executing at all on that particular request.
You might consider adding some tracing code to the rest of the events to see
if this is the case or set some breakpoints and run in the debugger.

However, you should definitely be able to get this to work.
