password

Password used to authenticate the AppServer client to the HTTP-based Proxy server. password can be a string of up to 512 printable ASCII characters.

You can access -proxyPassword using the SESSION:PROXY-PASSWORD attribute.

If -proxyhost and -proxyport are not specified on the command line to the 4GL client, any value for -proxyPassword, whether specified with the startup parameter or with the SESSION attribute, is ignored.

password is validated during the AppServer CONNECT() method. If the password is invalid, the CONNECT() method fails and OpenEdge issues an error message.

If -proxyUserid is not specified or SESSION:PROXY-USERID is not set, the CONNECT() method ignores any value for -proxyPassword.
