Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Setting authentication option to start servers administered by the AdminServer

You can require that when users are starting servers of the AdminServer (AppServer, Adapter for SonicMQ, and WebSpeed) the ubroker.properties file must provide a valid username and password. This authentication for starting the AppServer, WebSpeed, and Adapter for SonicMQ uses the uboker.properties file hierarchy to find usernames and passwords. The Progress Explorer password field can be set to supply the username’s password.

The command-line option that tells the AppServer, WebSpeed, and Adapter for SonicMQ to require a username and password from the ubroker.properties file is Require Username (-requireusername). You can run <install-dir>\bin\genpassword. This gives the user an obfuscated password that the user can enter into the Progress Explorer.

The Require Username syntax is as follows:
