sp_remoteoption

Description

Displays or changes remote login options.

Syntax

sp_remoteoption [remoteserver[, loginame 
	[, remotename[, optname[, optvalue]]]]]

Parameters

remoteserver

is the name of the server that will be executing RPCs on this server.

NoteThis manual page uses the term “local server” to refer to the server that is executing the remote procedures that are run from a “remote server.”

loginame

is the login name that identifies the local login for the remoteserver, loginame, remotename combination.

remotename

is the remote user name that identifies the remote login for the remoteserver, loginame, remotename combination.

optname

is the name of the option to change. Currently, there is only one option, trusted, which means that the local server accepts remote logins from other servers without user-access verification for the particular remote login. The default is to use password verification. Adaptive Server understands any unique string that is part of the option name. Use quotes around the option name if it includes embedded blanks.

optvalue

is either true or false. true turns the option on, false turns it off.
