[pmwiki-users] setting $Author with $AuthId as prefix

[Tegan Dowling]

Kathryn, when you've confirmed this works, would you consider adding it to
the site, as a recipe or as notes on the existing AuthUser page?

Also, something to check for:  In my experience of trying to use AuthUser, I
found that on a **site** with AuthUser enbled, but **pages** configured to
allow login via the non-AuthUser, native authentication, based on the
password alone (set by config.php or page attr or group attr), someone
logging in by clicking a (v2.1.26 syntax) [[{$Name}?action=login | Login]]
link, and using their miscellaneous username plus the password, would be
successfully logged in, but left hanging, looking at the Site.AuthForm,
instead of being returned to ?action=browse.  Even expert users get confused
and think their login has failed, when they're not returned to
?action=browse.

Just a heads up -- something to confirm isn't happening, or else that you
find a work-around, if it does.
