Lesson 5: Define a MobiLink user

When an Agent synchronizes its agent database it must authenticate itself to the MobiLink server. It does this by using a MobiLink user and optionally a password. Normally you would use the same MobiLink user and password to synchronize your remote databases that the Agent uses to synchronize the agent database.

In this lesson, you define a MobiLink user for the Agent to use. You can skip this lesson if you have an existing synchronization system, and you want the MobiLink Agent to use one of your existing MobiLink users to synchronize.

 To define a MobiLink user

  1. In the Folders view under Central Admin Tutorial » Consolidated Databases » Tutorial, right-click Users and choose New » User. The Create User Wizard appears.

  2. On the Welcome page, type JOHN for the name of the new user and click Next.

  3. On the Specify a Password page, check This User Will Require a Password to Connect and type sql in both the Password and Confirm Password fields. Click Finish.

    If you do not want to authenticate Agents that try to synchronize, skip this step and add the -zu+ option to the MobiLink command line. When -zu+ is specified, each MobiLink user is registered when it first attempts to synchronize. See -zu mlsrv12 option.
