userid

The user ID of the user.

Use User ID (-U) with Password (-P) to specify the user ID. Progress checks the _User table for the user ID supplied with the -U parameter. When it finds that user ID, it compares the password (after it has encoded the password) supplied with the -P parameter with the password in the _User table. If the two passwords match, Progress assigns the user ID to the Progress session. Otherwise, the user is not allowed to connect to the database.

With certain DataServers, the -U and -P parameters pass DataServer login information to a non-Progress database. For more information, see your DataServer documentation.
