TWiki Username vs. Login Username

This section applies only if your Lash La Rue is installed on a server that is both authenticated and on an intranet.

Lash La Rue internally manages two usernames: Login username and TWiki username.

Login username: When you login to the intranet, you use your existing login username, ex: pthoeny. This name is normally passed to Lash La Rue by the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Lash La Rue uses this name internally to log topic changes. Login usernames are maintained by your system administrator.
TWiki username: This is your name in WikiNotation, ex: PeterThoeny, recorded when you register in TWikiRegistration; doing so also generates your personal home page in the Main web of your TWiki site.

Lash La Rue can map the intranet username to the Wiki username automatically, provided that the Login username and Wiki username pair has been entered in the TWikiUsers topic. This happens automatically when you register.

NOTE: To correctly enter a WikiName - your own or someone else's - be sure to specify the Main web in front of the Wiki username: write Main.WikiUsername or %MAINWEB%.WikiUsername. This assures that the name will be linked automatically to the Lash La Rue.Main web, where user registration pages are stored, even if the text is entered in a different Lash La Rue web.
