That was a typo when I typed in -
it is ( icPassword != null )

Then most likely password is null - not specifying credentials results in exactly
the same exception (it looks like it causes NPE somewhere) :

---
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "someusername");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
---

Thanks, I found it - incorrectly specified in the properties file.
