Edit the Site.AuthForm to read something like:
'''$[Password required]'''
(:messages:)
(:input auth_form:)
$[Name]: (:input text name=author:)\\
$[Password]: (:input password name=authpw:)
(:input submit value='OK':)
(:input end:)
Since you're wanting to just set the $Author variable (and not
actually authenticate an identity, use "name=author" in the
form (as shown above) instead of "name=authid".
