There is a column in wfs_conf, "f_auth_varname". You can enter a php 
variable like

$_SESSION['mb_user_name']

(use single quotes) for the appropriate feature type which will hold the 
value of this variable.

This has been introduced in Mapbender 2.4.5, but there have been a lot 
of bug fixes since then, so I recommend updating to 2.5
