loginSuccessful vs. postAuthenticate

What should I use to do some post-authentication things (like loading user-preferences)

I tried to add an interceptor on both loginSuccessful and postAuthenticate. Only on postAuthenticate the interceptor works. Seam 2.0.2. Interceptor class:

@Name(value = "preferenceController")

public class PreferenceController {
	@In
	Identity identity;

	@In(create = true)
	private EntityManager entityManager;

	@In(value = "user")
	private User user;

	@Observer("org.jboss.seam.security.loginSuccessful")
	public void doe()
	{
		System.out.println("This will not be shown");
	}
	@Observer("org.jboss.seam.postAuthenticate")
	
	public void getPreferences() {

		System.out.println("This is shown");
	}
}

Thank you for advice.
