user-id
user-id used to authenticate an AppServer client to the HTTP-based proxy server. The user-id can be a string of up to 512 printable ASCII characters, including the space character.
You can access -proxyUserid using the SESSION:PROXY-USERID attribute.
If -proxyhost and -proxyport are not specified on the command-line to the OpenEdge client, any value for the -proxyUserid, whether specified with the startup parameter or with the SESSION attribute, is ignored.
The user-id is validated during the AppServer CONNECT() method. If user-id is invalid, the CONNECT() method fails and the AVM issues an error message.
If -proxyPassword is not specified or SESSION:PROXY-PASSWORD is not set, and -proxyUserid is specified, a blank proxy password is used by the AppServer CONNECT() method.
