Chris,
getAuthUser() is meant to be called when using cflogin and cfloginuser...
and cflogin has to be called on every request.
It's part of the cflogin security framework. It's pretty simple:
<cflogin>
{sql queries or whatever here}
<cfloginuser name="fred smith" roles="User" />
</cflogin>
Then on any page when you call getAuthUser() it'll return either the
contents of the name attribute of cfloginuser or "". My guess is you haven't
been using cflogin at all.
Also, using j_password and j_username as your form field names will engage
HTTP authentication automatically and log you in, but only when you're using
HTTP authentication.
HTH,
