Interactive funcationality not working

Question

Hello,
The sorting and filtering functions are not working in any interactive reports in an application. The interactive report appears when sorting or filtering, the waiting symbol is shown but there is no sorting or filtering.
I think it may have to do with the authentication.
The application is accessed from another non-apex application which uses an encrypted token to verify the user.
This is the authentication function:
create or replace function "SIMPLE"
(p_username in VARCHAR2,
p_password in VARCHAR2)
return BOOLEAN is x number;
begin
return TRUE;
end;The authentication scheme is named SIMPLE:
Page Sentry Function
return TRUE;
Login Processing/Authentication Function:
return SIMPLE;
lOGOUT url:
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.logout?p_this_flow=&FLOW_ID&p_next_flow_page_sess=&FLOW_ID:PUBLIC_PAGE:&SESSION
I then have an application process that checks the encrypted value to either let them in or redirect to another webpage:
declare
     l_hash_value varchar2(1000) := null;
     l_uid varchar2(1000) := null;
begin
select hash_value into :ORIG_HASH_VALUE
from hash
where hash_value = :HASH_VALUE
-- 120 seconds
and hash_date >= (sysdate - 0.001388889)
and rownum=1;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
:ORIG_HASH_VALUE := 'nothing';
    If :ORIG_HASH_VALUE <> :HASH_VALUE
    or :ORIG_HASH_VALUE = 'nothing' then
-- perform a redirect back to the home page
        apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
        htp.init();
        owa_util.redirect_url('http://www.myhomepage.com',true);
end if;
end;Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Matt

Matt,
I'm sorry that I didn't remember what I'd done for my custom authentication setup better. I'd forgotten that I have a process that also helps with this.
The process is defined to run: On New Instance (new session)
There's a condition on this process so that it only runs when the application item APP_USER_NAME is null.
Among other things, that process script does the following:
DECLARE
l_id_num VARCHAR2(10) := v('UID');
l_user_name VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
IF l_id_num IS NOT NULL
THEN
-- Want it for call against standard APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.SESSION_ID_EXISTS
apex_custom_auth.define_user_session(p_user => l_id_num, p_session_id => v('SESSION'));
l_user_name := get_pref_name(l_id_num);
:APP_USER_NAME := l_user_name;
wwv_flow.g_user_known_as := l_user_name;
END IF;
END;
I can't tell you at the moment why I bother setting g_user_known_as, sorry.
I hope this helps.
