This indicate that your auth server returned userid
"[U2FsdGVkX19aYlj8eW0BPmAZ4Loziuy64Urcd4ZhMOg=]",
which is obviously incorrect. Are you by any chance running with some sort
of encryption/hashing in the ident server? That's not supported with
PostgreSQL.

If not that, then I'm not sure exactly what it could be - but it's obvious
that your ident server is reporting an incorrect username, so you'll need to
investigate that one.
