The documentation you're looking at is outdated, in 2.2.x, the page is indeed 
SiteAdmin.AuthUser (unless you have configured it to be elsewhere). Where is 
this documentation? We may have forgotten to update it.

What is your user: password line in SiteAdmin.AuthUser ? Does look like :

  Didier: $1$YTJui2ZN$TMYMiWH3SNo84LJ72ZZ2E

Your admin password or some other passwords set in $DefaultPasswords may allow 
you to login without the need to enter a username. In that case, none of these 
passwords (for non-username, password only login) should be the same as the 
user passwords defined in SiteAdmin.AuthUser.

And, remember to log out of the administrator account before login as a user - 
because PmWiki allows to be logged in as both at the same time, but this might 
mess with the $AuthId variable.

Last thing I can think of now is the order of lines in config.php. The 
inclusion of scripts/authuser.php should be quite early in config.php, before 
most other recipes.
