The user name shown by the -panel is the PC Name. Is it possible have the user id of our application?

Yes. You can give each user their own login username and password.

run iscclient -admin from a client PC and create new users.
- a login is required to access the user administration panel. Use the same credentials you use for -panel (user: admin pwd: admin)
- to add a new user, Click on the green "Add User" icon, or press F7. Double click in the first column and type the user name. You will be prompted to provide a password for the new user.
  Continue like this for every user you want to add. When you are done, click on the "Save User's List" icon on the toolbar, of press F8.
Note: Users are saved in a file named password.properties stored in the AppServer working directory on the server. You can customize this file name and location with iscobol.as.password_file.
add iscobol.as.authentication=2 to the AppServer startup command and restart the AppServer.
At this point, every client you launch will be asked to log in before using the COBOL program.

The client must provide user name and password as registered in the step above. When you run the administration panel, you'll see the login user name.
