Since no one has replied, I'll try my "30-second remediation"  
technique again. ;-)  That means I didn't really follow exactly what  
you are doing, and I'm just trying for low-hanging fruit to help  
you. :-)

So that means that http://127.0.0.1:8080/++etc++site/default/test.pau/ 
@@configure.html (or similar) has one credentials plugin in the right  
column ("Session Credentials (a utility)") and one authenticator  
plugin in the right column ("PrincipalFolder (a utility)" or  
something like that).  Right?

If not, make it so.  :-)

If that doesn't work, try making the right column of the Credentials  
Plugins field be "No Challenge if Authenticated (a utility)" first  
and then "Session Credentials (a utility)" second.  That's probably  
what you want anyway.
