Hard-coding Client Identifiers

The client identifier is a string that uniquely identifies your Broker client. The client identifier is used to:

Identify the Broker client that published an event, described in Read-only Envelope Fields.

Identify the recipient of a delivered event, described in Delivering Events.

Re-connect a previously disconnected BrokerClient, described on Disconnecting and Reconnecting.

Allow two or more Broker clients connected to the same Broker to share the same client state, described on Sharing Client State.

Note:
A client identifier cannot start with a '# 'character, nor can it contain '/' or '@' characters. See Parameter Naming Rules for complete details.
