Description

Component Integration Services only Creates an alternate login account and password to use when communicating with a remote server through Component Integration Services.

Syntax

sp_addexternlogin remote_server, login_name, remote_name 
	[, remote_password] [role_name]

Parameters

remote_server

is the name of the remote server. The remote_server must be known to the local server by an entry in the master.dbo.sysservers table.

login_name

is an account known to the local server. login_name must be represented by an entry in the master.dbo.syslogins table. The “sa” account, the “sso” account, and the login_name account are the only users authorized to modify remote access for a given local user.

remote_name

is an account known to the remote_server and must be a valid account on the node where the remote_server runs. This is the account used for logging into the remote_server.

remote_password

is the password for remote_name.

role_name

is the Adaptive Server user’s assigned role. If role_name is specified, login_name is ignored.

Examples

Example 1

Tells the local server that when the login name “bobj” logs in, access to the remote server OMNI1012 is by the remote name “jordan” and the remote password “hitchpost”. Only the “bobj” account, the “sa” account, and the “sso” account have the authority to add or modify a remote login for the login name “bobj”:

sp_addexternlogin OMNI1012, bobj, jordan, hitchpost

Example 2

Shows a many-to-one mapping so that all Adaptive Server Enterprise users that need a connection to DB2 can be assigned the same name and password:

sp_addexternlogin DB2, NULL, login2, password2

Example 3

Adaptive Server Enterprise roles can also be assigned remote logins. With this capability, anyone with a particular role can be assigned a corresponding login name and password for a given remote server:

sp_addexternlogin DB2, NULL, login3, password3, role

Usage

Permissions

Only the login_name, a System Administrator, and a System Security Officer can execute sp_addexternlogin.
