I think to achieve this, you must do two things:

1- Implement the LiveSite login. When your user logs into your web site, the java code should put an attribute in the "user" LiveSite object (ExternalUserIfc). This attribute should contain for example the user name.

2- You must build a header component associated to an external object. The External object java code should get the user attribute a give it back to the component's xml.

The above applies to 2.2.x, for 3.0 you will need to create a login controller, attach it to the header component and when user logs in the header component will render the information correctly or the controller will redirect to a login page. (this is one way, there are several other ways)
