to tie $Author to $Authid you could try the following in config.php,
for loading the scripts and setting $Author:

include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php");
if ($AuthId) {
  $Author = $AuthId;
  setcookie('author',$Author,0,'/');
}
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/author.php");


Pmwiki has default Page Variables {$Author} and {$AuthId}, which will
display the current logged in AuthId and Author, so I don't know why
you want another one {$Creator} defined as $Author.
But I don't know how you want it saved. written when a page gets
posted as a page text variable?

The original author/creator of a page is not saved as  a special page
attribute, only as a part of the page history, i.e. the string of
authors who changed the page.
