GetPlayerIdentifiers returning weird Steam ID

I’m 90% sure this is a misconfiguration error at my server end, so I’m hoping someone can show me the error of my ways…

I’m in the very early stages of a server script, currently, all I have is a direct rip off of the playerConnecting handler from Essential:

AddEventHandler('playerConnecting', function(playerName, setKickReason)
    identifiers = GetPlayerIdentifiers(source)
    for i in ipairs(identifiers) do
        print('Player: ' .. playerName .. ', Identifier #' .. i .. ': ' .. identifiers[i])
    end
end)

as an experiment to see what I got.

However, I’m seeing super weird Steam IDs, for example:

Player: Chuckatron, Identifier #1: steam:1100001021a1b44

That is not my Steam ID in any form I’ve ever seen it before, it’s certainly nothing I can tie into the data I get back from Steam Oauth login.

I’m guessing I need to reconfigure my server somehow, but I’m failing to find where.

Can anyone help please?!

I don’t understand your problem, the steam id is valid

Dear oh dear, that was embarrassing. I’d not realised the Steam ID is returned in HEX. Converting to decimal gives me something altogether more familiar.

Please don’t mock me…
