Configuring default values

Use configure replication server to establish default security settings for all outgoing logins (when Replication Server acts as a client) and incoming logins (when Replication Server acts as a server).

You can override default security settings for these outgoing pathways:

NoteYou cannot override any default security settings that control security for incoming logins.

When Replication Server seeks to open a pathway to another server, it checks to see if security parameters have been set specifically for that pathway. If not, Replication Server uses the default security settings determined using configure replication server.

To set global security parameters, log in to Replication Server and execute configure replication server at the isql prompt. Here is the syntax:

configure replication server {
  set security_mechanism to 'mechanism_name' |
  set security_parameter to { 'required' |
    'not_required' }}

You can set all of the configuration parameters listed in Table 8-8. They are stored in the rs_config table in the RSSD. You must have sa permission to execute them.
