Modifying Security for a Route

Use alter route to change the security settings for a route.

Here is the syntax for altering security:
alter route to dest_replication_server { 
...
set password to 'passwd' |
set security_mechanism to 'mechanism_name' |
set security_parameter to { 'required' |
		'not_required' }}

To change the security parameters of a route, log in to Replication Server and perform these steps at the Replication Server:

  1. Execute suspend route to suspend activity on the route.
  2. Execute alter route to change a security parameter.
    Note: Set one parameter at a time.
  3. Execute resume route to resume activity on the route.

Examples of Using alter route to Configure Security

  • To require Replication Server to connect to the target Replication Server (TOKYO_RS) with a password, execute these commands:
    alter route to TOKYO_RS
       set username 'TOKYO_rsi_user'
    alter route to TOKYO_RS
       set password 'TOKYO_rsi_pw'
    alter route to TOKYO_RS
       set unified_login to 'not_required'
    Note: If unified_login is “not_required,” you must specify an RSI user and password.
  • To specify that all messages exchanged with the target Replication Server (TOKYO_RS) are checked for tampering, execute:
    alter route to TOKYO_RS
      set msg_integrity to 'required'
