Then that documentation is incorrect. Is it on a page on the pmwiki
site? Or the local documentation that came with your installation? Can
you tell me which page it says Site.AuthUser?

Now, why, $AuthId is empty is still a mystery....

By any chance, is your user's password the same as one of the
passwords you set in config.php? For example, if a user's password in
SiteAdmin.AuthUser is the same as, say, the admin password set in
$DefaultPasswords['admin'], the latter takes precedence and you don't
get an $AuthId set in that case.

I share your pain with learning the Authorization system. Someone
wrote http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/QuickStartForAuthUser and
then everything became a lot clearer to me.
