For what you want to do, from:
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RequireAuthor :

For sites using PmWiki's authuser.php script, use the following:
(in either /pmwiki/local/farmconfig.php or /field1/local/config.php)

     # Force author name to match login name
     include_once("scripts/authuser.php");
     $Author = $AuthId;

It's helpful to recognize that the Author name and the authenticated 
user name are separate in PmWiki. From an email message by Pm:

   $AuthId = verified author identity  (stored in $_SESSION['authid'])
   $Author = author's name             (stored in $_COOKIE['author'])
