"System username" may help from an internal development perspective, especially as it relates to pg_ident.conf, but I don't think that's likely to be a useful descriptor to an end user. (I don't think of a client certificate's Subject Distinguished Name as a "system username".) Does my attempt in v5 help? --Jacob
