Thanks for your response.

Yes, I am trying to determine the earliest point in the process where
I can make these available. I was able to define a USERAADDR constant
in bootstrap.php but had not tried Configure::Write there. (Which I
will now do).
I tried to keep my initial post simple, but one complication is that I
also want to set anther global identifier that is kept in the
application's user/person table. I am figure that I could just drop
some one-off SQL query code in bootstarp.php, but thought I would try
to do it the "Cake way" and so was trying to use existing model/
controller structure.
