Username - I'd like to have a Posix username like "amckay", but a wiki
username like AlanMcKay

I guess it all goes by the "User ID" field from the main page.

My problem is that I have existing wikis so need usernames like
WIkiNames.   I tested this and it works fine with the apache ldap auth
module.

But I'd also like to keep the existing Posix usernames.   Though I
guess in a pinch I could easily switch existing Posix usernames over
to a wikiname.  But I'm certain I'll have a lot of complaints about
it.

Is there anything I can do here?

Which wiki? Twiki can map your normal login name to a WikiName internally so apache only has to authenticate the login name and set REMOTE_USER.
