Improvements to Security

Replication Server 15.7.1 SP100 includes several changes that are intended to improve security.

• Replication Server Principal Names
  Replication Server accepts Kerberos Open Client ™ connections with a user-defined Replication Server principal name.
• LDAP User Authentication
  Replication Server supports the use of LDAP as an additional security mechanism for user authentication.
• Control Subscriptions to a Replication Definition
  Replication Server 15.7.1 SP100 lets you disallow subscriptions directly from the replication definition, if they are used in an article and a publication.
• Maintenance User Security
  To prevent unauthorized access to the database, secure the maintenance user with password encryption, and set an expiration interval for the password.
