+
+This is a virtual base class (a.k.a an interface) for all user mappers. It is **not** useable as a mapping in TWiki - use the [[BaseUserMapping]] for default behaviour.
+
+User mapping is the process by which TWiki maps from a username (a login name) to a display name and back. It is also where groups are maintained.
+
+See TWiki::Users::BaseUserMapping and TWiki::Users::TWikiUserMapping for the default implementations of this interface.
+
+If you want to write a user mapper, you will need to implement the methods described in this class.
+
+User mappings work by mapping both login names and display names to a _canonical user id_. This user id is composed from a prefix that defines the mapper in use (something like 'BaseUserMapping\_' or 'LdapUserMapping\_') and a unique user id that the mapper uses to identify the user.
+
+The null prefix is reserver for the [[TWikiUserMapping]] for compatibility with old TWiki releases.
+
+**_Note:_** in all the following documentation, `$user` refers to a **canonical user id**.

+## <a name="PROTECTED _ClassMethod new ($ses"></a> PROTECTED [[ClassMethod]] new ($session, $mapping\_id)
+
+Construct a user mapping object, using the given mapping id.
+
+## <a name="ObjectMethod <strong>finish</strong> ()"></a> [[ObjectMethod]] **finish** `()`
+
+Break circular references.
+
+## <a name="ObjectMethod <strong>login_TemplateName"></a> [[ObjectMethod]] \*loginTemplateName `() -> $templateFile`
+
+Allows [[UserMappings]] to come with customised login screens - that should preferably only over-ride the UI function
+
+Default is "login"
+
+## <a name="ObjectMethod <strong>supportsRegistrati"></a> [[ObjectMethod]] \*supportsRegistration `() -> $boolean`
+
+Return true if the [[UserMapper]] supports registration (ie can create new users)
+
+Default is **false**
+
+## <a name="ObjectMethod <strong>handlesUser</strong> ($cUI"></a> [[ObjectMethod]] **handlesUser** `($cUID,$login,$wikiname) -> $boolean`
+
+Called by the TWiki::Users object to determine which loaded mapping to use for a given user (must be fast).
+
+Default is **false**
+
+## <a name="ObjectMethod <strong>get_CanonicalUserI"></a> [[ObjectMethod]] \*getCanonicalUserID `($login,$dontcheck) -> cUID`
+
+Convert a login name to the corresponding canonical user name. The canonical name can be any string of 7-bit alphanumeric and underscore characters, and must correspond 1:1 to the login name. (undef on failure)
+
+(if dontcheck is true, return a cUID for a nonexistant user too - used for registration)
+
+Subclasses **must** implement this method.
+
+## <a name="ObjectMethod <strong>get_LoginName</strong> ($c"></a> [[ObjectMethod]] **getLoginName** `($cUID) -> login`
+
+Converts an internal cUID to that user's login (undef on failure)

+
+Add a user to the persistant mapping that maps from usernames to wikinames and vice-versa, via a **canonical user id** (cUID).
+
+$login and $wikiname must be acceptable to $TWiki::cfg\{NameFilter\}. $login must **always** be specified. $wikiname may be undef, in which case the user mapper should make one up.
+
+This function must return a canonical user id that it uses to uniquely identify the user. This can be the login name, or the wikiname if they are all guaranteed unigue, or some other string consisting only of 7-bit alphanumerics and underscores.
