Replication Server Principal Names

Replication Server accepts Kerberos Open Client ™ connections that have a user-defined Replication Server principal name.

Replication Server authenticates the principal name with the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC). By default, the principal name is the name of the Replication Server. If you have multiple instances of Replication Server running, specify different principal names for each Replication Server.

To specify a different principal name:

While starting Replication Server, set -k rs_principal_name option in the repserver executable program, or,
Before starting the Replication Server, set the SYBASE_RS_PRINCIPAL environment variable in the isql command line tool.

Use admin show_principal_name command to view the Replication Server principal name.

If you modify the principal name of any Replication Server, execute sysadmin principal_users[,reload] to reload the principal name of all Replication Servers stored in the rs_principal_users.cfg configuration file.

See admin show_principal_name and sysadmin principal_users[,reload] in the Replication Server Reference Manual .

Specifying the Replication Server Principal Name
To specify the Replication Server principal name, use either the SYBASE_RS_PRINCIPAL environment variable or the -k rs_principal_name option.
