Hello,
In the SimpleClientListener, there is a method which returns a PasswordAuthentication object. Clearly the user name becomes the user name which is accessible in the ClientSession object on the server side. However, what happens to the password? I can’t seem to find any methods in the server-side code to get access to it. Does it dissappear or am I missing something?
Thanks,

The password is handled by the authenticator.
The default authenticator is a null authenticator, it does nothing with the password.
For information on plugging other authenticators in, see this thread.

Bunny Hunters Online! has a custom authenticator. That code will be available open source right after javaOne. When the full SDK open source release happens it will be accompanied by a manual that details all the pluggable places in the system.
