Well I approached this with a fresh mind, and found this solution:

Edit Site.AuthForm and change

(:input text name=authid:)
to
(:input text name=author:)

Add in config.php:

$EnableAuthUser = 1;
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/author.php");

$EnableAuthUser = 1; is requird in Site.AuthForm to display the name
field, and I could have changed it to a different variable name,
but I guess it is not doing any harm either.
