GOAL:
How to pass OS user name into -U startup parameter for a Progress client session?
GOAL:
Is it possible to pass OS user password into -P startup parameter for a Progress client session?
FIX:
For Windows platforms the user id is kept in USERNAME environment variable. mpro -db <dbname> -U %USERNAME% -P <password>
For UNIX platforms the user name is in LOGNAME environment variable.
mpro -db <dbname> -U $LOGNAME -P <password>
Since Operating System Security prevents access to the user login password, it is not possible to pass OS user password into -P startup parameter for a Progress client session.
