TWiki Username vs. Login Username

Changed:
<
<		 This section only applies to you in case the server where TWiki.Tukro is installed is authenticated and on an Intranet.
>
>		 This section applies only if your TWiki.Tukro is installed on a server that is both authenticated and on an intranet.

Changed:
<
<		 TWiki.Tukro manages internally two usernames: Login username and Wiki username.
  • Login username: When you login to the Intranet you use your existing login username, i.e. pthoeny. This name is passed to TWiki.Tukro by the REMOTE_USER environment variable. TWiki.Tukro uses this name internally to log topic changes. Login usernames are maintained by your system administrator.
  • Wiki username: Is your name in WikiNotation, i.e. PeterThoeny. Your WikiName will be created when you register in TWikiRegistration; doing so will also create your personal home page.

Changed:
<
<		 Note: When you refer to a WikiName of a user (your own or somebody else's) be sure to specify the Main web in front of the Wiki username, e.g. write Main.WikiUsername or %MAINWEB%.WikiUsername. This assures that the name will be linked automatically to the TWiki.Tukro.Main web, even if the text is written in a different TWiki.Tukro web.

  • Login username: When you login to the intranet, you use your existing login username, ex: pthoeny. This name is normally passed to TWiki.Tukro by the REMOTE_USER environment variable. TWiki.Tukro 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.

Changed:
<
<		 TWiki.Tukro 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.

>		 TWiki.Tukro 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 TWiki.Tukro.Main web, where user registration pages are stored, even if the text is entered in a different TWiki.Tukro web.
