Configuring the rs_principal_users.cfg File

If you modify the principal name of a Replication Server when multiple instances of Replication Servers are running, add the new principal name in the rs_principal_users.cfg configuration file,.

  1. Open the rs_principal_users.cfg configuration file found in the $SYBASE folder.
  2. Enter the principal name of a Replication Server that is modified and used for authentication with other Replication Servers.
    For example, if there are ten Replication Servers with names and principal names as PRS1, PRS1, PRS3, and so on. If you modify the principal name of PRS1 to PRS1_principal, enter the modified name in the rs_principal_users.cfg file as:
    PRS1:PRS1_principal

    If you modify the principal name of more than one Replication Server, enter one line for each server.

    For example:
    PRS2:PRS2_principal
    PRS3:PRS3_principal
    PRS4:PRS4_principal
    Note: You can add the principal names of all Replication Servers in one rs_principal_users.cfg configuration file and copy this file to the same folder where the Replication Server configuration file is located; for example, $SYBASE.
  3. Run sysadmin principal_users[,reload] to reload the principal names of all Replication Servers stored in the rs_principal_users.cfg configuration file.
    See Replication Server Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > sysadmin principal_users[,reload].
