Answer 1

Based on the stacktrace it looks like you may try to use an application-client with your application that has enabled the AMRealm in its security-domain configuration (and/or AMRealm is the default security domain).

The transport string is basically the password that is being provided to the JAAS login module. I suppose you wanted to authenticate on your own (since the filter cannot be found on the stacktrace I'm guessing that this is not a web request..). Without any further info it is hard to help to diagnose your problem..
