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.
