Each resource website that you access using the Tuakiri Identity Federation system needs to create a reasonably unique and readable name for you when you are logged in. While you are using resources accessed through the Tuakiri system, your username will sometimes show up differently—for example, something like lasfi12p@otago.ac.nz. You can interpret this example as "the account lasfi12p at the institution with domain otago.ac.nz".
