No. It's not supported by the database engine.

Yes, but if everyone logs in as SYSDBA, this isn't any use to you. The
database engine doesn't know about OS usernames.

You could set up your own database-level login log and store whatever you like.

You could look into IBO's "two-layer" login to help with this. This allows
you to prepend a prefix to the user name and role at the client. If you
decided to do (1) you could assign each user a "signature" prefix that you
would write to your log table at each login. See the IB_Connection
properties LoginUsername, LoginUsernamePrefix, LoginSQLRole and
LoginSQLRolePrefix. Use the AfterConnect even to do this logging and make
*certain* that you hard-commit immediately after inserting to the table.
