Authentication and anonymous access

I have a web application that is accessible anonymously (as reader) until you need author/editor functionality. Then you will be prompted to login.

However, it seems the authenticated user credentials are only available in the browser when a document is in edit mode. Other times, the user name is just shown as “Anonymous”, even after a user has authenticated. Is there some way to always have the correct user credentials available in the browser, or do I just have to disallow anonymous access to get this?

How are you showing the user name? Is this in a computed field on the document? A cfd field? Computed text? An editable field?

For testing I am just using some computed text.

Can anyone at least confirm they have the same behavior?
