You'd have to write a decoder that could parse the important information 
out of the log message, in this case the username. You would then write a 
rule based on your decoder that would go off at a higher alert level 
(10-15, whatever you want). 

It's definitely possible but learning the regex can be painful ;)

Check out chapter 4 in the OSSEC book. It goes through writing a custom 
decoder. 

Thanks
