I compiled the latest tgt with RBD support. My question is when using
this method to access RBD volumes, where do you tell it what user to
authenticate to the cluster with? I do see the above linked page
mentions it will read a local ceph.conf.

It seems like you can't. A quick peek at the source code of mainline tgt:

bs_rbd.c

static tgtadm_err bs_rbd_init(struct scsi_lu *lu)
{
..
..
        rados_ret = rados_create(&cluster, NULL);
        if (rados_ret < 0) {
                eprintf("bs_rbd_init: rados_create: %d\n", rados_ret);
                return ret;
        }
..
..
}

Looking at librados.h:

 * @param id the user to connect as (i.e. admin, not client.admin)
 * @returns 0 on success, negative error code on failure
 */
int rados_create(rados_t *cluster, const char * const id);

So it seems like tgt doesn't support Cephx at all? Or is the documentation for librados wrong that it will use "admin" as id when NULL is given and cephx is enabled?

I'm not sure if you can pass the id in CEPH_ARGS, but you can give it a try:

export CEPH_ARGS="--id myuser"
tgtadm .......

Say I want to use cephx for authentication; how do I tell this:

tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode logicalunit --op new --tid 1 --lun 1
--backing-store pool0/test-image --bstype rbd

to authenticate to pool0/test-image as user testuser? My local ceph.conf
(that I run the tgtadm command on) contains:

[global]
         log_max_recent = 500

[mon.a]
         host = c01-m01
         mon addr = XX.XX.XX.XX:6789

[mon.b]
         host = c01-m02
         mon addr = XX.XX.XX.XX:6789

[mon.c]
         host = c01-m03
         mon addr = XX.XX.XX.XX:6789
