Status: Unverified
SYMPTOM(s):
The _Connect._Connect-Device VST sometimes contains blank values.
Username associated with the device is over 12 characters in length
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.0x
OpenEdge 10.1A
Windows
CAUSE:
If the username associated with that device is over 12 characters in length (e.g. "administrator"), then _Connect-Device returns a blank value. The maximum length of a user name that a ABL client can send server is 11 characters + 1 for the NULL terminator.
FIX:
Upgrade to OpenEdge 10.1B or later. This cannot be changed in earlier versions because we support backward compatibility for 1 release and the fix involves a change to a core message between the ABL client and the server.
WORKAROUND:
Don't use user names longer than 12 characters in length.
