I am saying that you should read the code. Obtaining the "default
identity" does not involve NIM. By the time that NIM (or Leash) is
queried the user is being prompted and the user can choose to provide
credentials for whatever identity she wants to.
Attach a debugger, set break points, and walk the code.
