How to change the IRIS user when starting a terminal session in an IRIS container?

When using the command docker exec -it iris iris terminal IRIS, it automatically logs you in as the irisowner user. To log in as a different user, you need to run the command interactively and specify the desired username and password. The process is as follows:

1. Open a terminal session in the container using:
   docker exec -it iris iris terminal IRIS

2. This will prompt you for a username. Instead of proceeding automatically, enter the username you want (e.g., admin) and follow with the corresponding password for that user.

3. If authentication details are required to be automated, consider passing environment variables during container setup to define the user and password. For example:

   docker run --rm --name iris -d -p 9091:1972 -p 9092:52773 -e IRIS_PASSWORD=yourpassword -e IRIS_USERNAME=yourusername intersystemsdc/iris-community
   

This approach ensures you can initiate sessions under a different user account [1][2].

Do $System.Security.Login("<username>") will work for this, assuming you don't have any custom security configuration that prevents this workaround.
