This function is called to establish the server-side connection. The function either connects a proxy to the destination server, or an embedded proxy to its parent proxy. The proxy may set the address of the destination server using the setServerAddress function.

The connectServer function calls the chainer specified in the service definition to connect to the remote server using the host name and port parameters.

The connectServer function returns the descriptor of the server-side data stream.

The proxy instance calls this function to retrieve authentication credentials for authentication method method and the target user username.
