It is a feature-request and not a requirement or a bug.

In my seup we use auth-user-pass and the username is allways the same as 
the CN of the certificate.

Auth-user-pass requires, that we enter both username and password each 
time we start a connection. When we know that the username is on the 
system in the CN-field of the certificate, it will be nice not to be 
forced to enter it on every connection.
