Ident maps other than sameuser are defined in the file pg_ident.conf in
the data directory, which contains lines of the general form:
map-name ident-username database-username
So you might require to have appropriate entries in pg_ident.conf file.
Rather you can also change the authentication method to trust or password
or md5.
