Thanks, that helps.

Setting id_field in the configuration to 
Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class, I was just 
cargo-culting from the Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::Authentication 
documentation.

If I hadn't seen it there, I wouldn't have tried fiddling with 
it.

And I see the reason my application started working was not so much my 
fiddling with id_field, as my accidental inclusion of the 
primary key in the arguments to authenticate.

Perhaps the id_field option should be removed from the Tutorial.
