We encountered this same problem. I was searching for documentation on
this problem, but can't find it. That being said, I believe this will fix
the step 5 error. Compare this code to what exists in
allaire/spectra/install/substeps/_basicsecuritytest.cfm. If I remember
correctly, the attribute called "name" is called something else in the
original file, but "name" is what actually needs to be used. This is from
line 71:

                        <cfa_NewInternalAdminSecurity 
                                action="addSecurityContext" 
                                name="#scName#" 
                                description="#scDesc#" 
                                Update="no">

So if #scName# is being passed with an attribute that is called something
else, try renaming the attribute to "name" as above and see if that fixes
it.

We also had problems with the login after the upgrade. One thing to try is
to re-enter the username and password information on your User Directory
datasource in the CF Admin. 

Good luck!
