Well you can store a mapping in your database between CURRENT_USER and
the workersid. You can't directly connect to the security database,
and IIRC there are other limitations about the charset of the username
and that the name can not be changed without deleting it and creating
a new one.

I don't believe there is any such trigger, but if your application
calls the services API to add a user, you could call a stored
procedure in your main database at that point in time to do the
necessary linking between Firebird user and workersid.
