Replication Server uses the Open Client/Server Interfaces to communicate between client applications and servers.
Server programs, including Replication Servers, Adaptive Servers, and gateway software for other data servers, are registered in a directory service—either an interfaces file or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server—so that client applications and other server programs can locate them.
If you are using network-based security, use the directory services of your network security mechanism to register Replication Servers, Adaptive Servers, and gateway software. Refer to the documentation that comes with your network-based security mechanism for details.
