Client-principal object handle

A handle to a Client-principal object. Each Client-principal object instance contains information specific to one user login session. This login session may be used as an application or database user identity from an authentication domain registered in a trusted authentication domain registry. You create an instance of a Client-principal object at run time using the CREATE CLIENT-PRINCIPAL statement.

Note: You use a Client-principal object with the SET-CLIENT( ) method or SET-DB-CLIENT function to set the user identity for a OpenEdge session or OpenEdge database. You can have only one active Client-principal object set as the current user at any one point in time for a session or database connection.
