Scott Cantor commented on SSPCPP-383:
-------------------------------------

A few points:

- the entityID should be set any time it can be
- the RequestMapper never directly sends anybody to an error template
- accessError never gets used by default, it's only used if you override the behavior of the system when access control plugins fail to go there instead of just returning a Forbidden status

What you're trying to do is what the new post SSO hook feature and AttributeChecker handler is designed for, and that uses a real session and always has entityID set per normal. Or should anyway, I'll check it.

With 2.5, you also have full control over the extraction of the entityID into a custom attribute, so you can treat it in that fashion to get around any limitations as well.

I'll check on a couple of things, but I don't think whatever you're seeing is something I could reproduce. Once a session exists, entityID should be set.

I'd suggest you take any issues with the alpha not behaving as you expect to the dev list and I can figure out if it's working or not or you can file new issues.
