PROXY-PASSWORD attribute

Authenticates an AppServer or Web service client to the HTTP-based proxy server.

Data type:

Character

Access:

Readable/Writeable

Applies to:

SESSION system handle

This attribute corresponds to the -proxyPassword startup parameter. If -proxyPassword is not specified on the command line, this attribute has the Unknown value (?) until it is set.

This attribute is validated during the CONNECT( ) method (for an AppServer and a Web service). If PROXY-PASSWORD is invalid, the CONNECT( ) method fails and the AVM issues an error message. If PROXY-USERID is not unknown and PROXY-PASSWORD is unknown, the AppServer CONNECT( ) method uses a blank proxy password. If SESSION:PROXY-USERID is unknown, the CONNECT( ) method ignores any value of PROXY-PASSWORD. PROXY-PASSWORD must be a string of up to 512 printable ASCII characters.
