The PVA client is trying to send the user name to the server.
I think it's using this code in modules/pvAccess/src/remote/security.cpp:

       if(osiGetUserName(&buffer[0], buffer.size()) != osiGetUserNameSuccess)
            throw std::runtime_error("Unable to determine user account name");

At first glance I would expect that it throws the exception, but maybe it ends up with an empty user name, and that then results in follow-up problems. In any case it makes some sense that it doesn't "work" when the user is not defined.
