Configuring the interfaces file

The interfaces file contains network and security information for servers. It is located in $SYBASE/SYBASE_REP/interfaces in UNIX, or %SYBASE%\ini\sql.ini in Windows. If you use network security, you must include a secmech line that gives the global identifiers of supported security services. Supported security mechanisms are listed by their OIDs. Multiple security mechanisms are separated by commas.

The following is a sample entry for the interfaces file for either DCE or Kerberos where server_principal_user_name is the name of the Replication Server principal user:

#
server_principal_user_name
		query tcp ether plum 1050
		master tcp ether plum 1050
		secmech 1.3.6.1.4.1.897.4.6.1

See “Identifying the principal user” for more information.
