I dont understand the error. The algorithm that you mention does not take a layer as input. Instead, it takes a DB connection (just identified with its name), and then a SQL sentence.

I just checked that, for other algorithms that take vector layers, if the layer is based on a PostGIS connection, it adds the authid as param in the log, not the credentials
