When the username is known to the local system - its a no brainer.
I'm talking about when the application authenticate's zaphod
but actually logs into a template account (ie pw_name=="remote").
So uid/gid would be those for the template user.  The only remnant of
the authenticated username is in logname - so audit logs etc are
meaningful.
