Thanks!

I played a bit and this does the trick as well
ProcessMessage()
{
	Thread.CurrentPrincipal = .....
	_next.ProcessMessage()
}

and then

public class SomeObject : MarshalByRefObject
{
	void Method()
	{
		IPrincipal = Thread.CurrentPrincipal
	}
}

Though I'm not sure which one is better. I fear that my way may  
interfere with some CAS stuff in .NET itself, although after  
processing message I assign to Thread.CurrentPrincipal the original  
value.

P.S Sorry for the mail on priv :)
