session.getCommonUserName returns server name

Domino 8.5.2 server on an xpage, session.GetCommonUserName() returns my server name, but

@Name(“[CN]”, @UserName());

returns my name. In each case, I’m authenticated with the Domino Server. Also, session.getEffectiveUserName() returns my name in full canonical format.

Can someone explain?

Why does session.GetCommonUserName not return my name? Isn’t it supposed to?
