The authentication framework uses a so called authentication resource
to authenticate the user. If this authentication is successful, the
authentication resources delivers some XML for the user.
This XML can contain any information about this user in XML you
want. For the demo portal, the file "sunrise-user.xml" contains
all users and their information, you can simply add your data
there.

This information can be retrieved inside the portal using
the session transformer. By a <session:getxml context="authentication"
path="/"/> you get the XML, the authentication resource delivered
for the current user. By specifying the path attribute you
can selectivly grep some data out of the session context.
