Replication Server has its own set of login names, which are separate from data server login names. Users do not need Replication Server login accounts to access data replicated by Replication Server. Replicated data is available to users if they have permissions to access specific databases. The Database Administrator is responsible for creating databases and authorizing access to them.
Replication Server login names are required so that administrative users of the system can execute Replication Server commands. See “Examining users, passwords, and permissions” for information on viewing current Replication Server login names. Password encryption for users can be enabled or disabled.
