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.

Set the hide_maintenance_pwd parameter to on to:

Periodically generate a new password and encrypt the password for the maintenance user for existing connections to a replicate Adaptive Server database.
Generate and encrypt the password for any new database connections you create, and periodically regenerate and encrypt the password.
Change and encrypt any password you reenter for the maintenance user.

You can use alter connection or create connection to set hide_maintenance_pwd at the Replication Server for a specific database connection, or use configure replication server to set hide_maintenance_pwd for all database connections.

Use maintuser_pwd_expiration with configure replication server to set the password expiration interval for the maintenance user for all connections.

See Maintenance User Security in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.
