Orbacus does not offer any such authentication functionality... FSSL
would also not offer any such requirements - it would guarantee a
one-to-one communication without interception but no authentication.
What you are requesting is normally termed an 'enterprise' feature - we
offer such functionality in Orbix, our enterprise ORB.  There is SSO,
method-level or servant level authentication access, encryption, etc.
If you need this functionality, then I'd suggest you check out Orbix
which should more than suit your needs

Cheers.
