Hi Drew,
Yes indeed, we are facing same issue.
So far I'm using an ugly hack assuming that the immediate next recv() 
contains the identity of the peer I just authorized within my 
zap_handler. This code is not used yet on production, so I believe it 
works only by chance. I wanted to have confirmation from zeromq dev.

My attitude on open-source project is to come with a pull request when 
my needs are not fulfilled. But unfortunately C++ is way far beyond my 
skills. So I hope to find here new ideas I didn't thought about it.

Your testimony doesn't make me feel more confident :)

As an ultimate workaround I will probably fallback on zmq.PLAIN + stunnel.

Cheers,
Nicolas
