+This section applies only if your %WIKITOOLNAME% is installed on a server that is both **authenticated** and on an **intranet**.

+%WIKITOOLNAME% internally manages two usernames: Login username and TWiki username.
-* **Login username:** When you login to the Intranet you use your existing login username, i.e. <code>**pthoeny**</code>. This name is passed to %WIKITOOLNAME% by the <code>**REMOTE\_USER**</code> environment variable. %WIKITOOLNAME% 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. <code>**PeterThoeny**</code>. Your [[WikiName]] will be created when you register in [[TWikiRegistration]]; doing so will also create your personal home page.
+* **Login username:** When you login to the intranet, you use your existing login username, ex: <code>**pthoeny**</code>. This name is normally passed to %WIKITOOLNAME% by the <code>**REMOTE\_USER**</code> environment variable. %WIKITOOLNAME% 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: <code>**PeterThoeny**</code>, recorded when you register in [[TWikiRegistration]]; doing so also generates your personal home page in the %MAINWEB% web of your TWiki site.
-**_Note:_** When you refer to a [[WikiName]] of a user (your own or somebody else's) be sure to specify the %MAINWEB% web in front of the Wiki username, e.g. write <code>**%MAINWEB%.WikiUsername**</code> or <code>**%MAINWEB%.WikiUsername**</code>. This assures that the name will be linked automatically to the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web, even if the text is written in a different %WIKITOOLNAME% web.
+%WIKITOOLNAME% can map the intranet username to the Wiki username automatically, provided that the Login username and Wiki username pair has been entered in the %MAINWEB%.%WIKIUSERSTOPIC% topic. This happens automatically when you register.
