Ewave manages internally two usernames: Login username and Wiki username.

• Login username: When you login to the Intranet you use your login username, i.e. pthoeny. This name is passed to Ewave by the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Ewave 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.

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 Ewave.Main web, even if the text is written in a different Ewave web.

Ewave 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.
