A workaround is to add the user data to a session attribute and use that one when the data is needed. The context data is only used by the authentication actions :-(
I have a site running with authentication by mySQL database for a member section. On top of this I'm running the portal with xml file authentication. The coplets in the portal give access to the content of the different files of the site. It's actually used as a CMS. The CMS is used by only a handful of people and only one person can access a certain part at the same time. So there is not need for file locking and such and the SourceWritingTransfomer can safely be used.

Sir, I understand your frustration. We have been trying to get authentication using that sunRise stuff for over a month now. One goes down the primrose path only to find absolutely nothing - that is called frustration.Actually, I believe that there is something that we have set incorrectly. But, we do not have enough of visibility into the process to determine where we have gone astray. We are still digging, but we are continuing to get more of nothing. And you know how that feels.
