Your network-based security mechanism may use login names that are not valid on Replication Server. For example, login names on Replication Server must not exceed 30 characters or include certain special characters such as *, (, and %. Login names on Replication Server must be valid identifiers, which are described in “Identifiers” in Chapter 2 of the Replication Server Reference Manual.
If the security login name is not a valid identifier, Replication Server automatically maps invalid characters to valid characters and truncates login names at 30 characters. Table 8-12 describes how Replication Server translates invalid characters.
