-TWiki manages internally two usernames: Login username and Wiki username.
+This section only applies to you in case the server where %WIKITOOLNAME% is installed is authenticated and on an Intranet.
 
-* **Login username:** When you login to the Intranet you use your login username, e.g. `pthoeny`. TWiki uses this name internally to log who changed topics.
-* **Wiki username:** Is your name in [[WikiNotation]], e.g. `PeterThoeny`. When you register in [[TWikiRegistration]] your [[WikiName]] will be created along with your personal home page.
+%WIKITOOLNAME% manages internally two usernames: Login username and Wiki username.
 
-**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 user name, e.g. write it as Main.WikiUsername. This assures that the name will be linked automatically to the TWiki.Main web, even if the text is written in a different Wiki web.
+* **Login username:** When you login to the Intranet you use your login username, i.e. `pthoeny`. This name is passed to %WIKITOOLNAME% by the `REMOTE_USER` 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. `PeterThoeny`. Your [[WikiName]] will be created when you register in [[TWikiRegistration]]; doing so will also create your personal home page.
 
-TWiki 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%.TWikiUsers topic. This happens automatically when you register.
+**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.
