Activating network-based security

Before configuring security services, you must turn on network-based security for the Replication Server using the configure replication server command.

To activate network security, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Replication Server and enter:

    configure replication server 
      set use_security_services to 'on'
    
  2. Shut down Replication Server.

  3. Restart Replication Server by executing the repserver command or the Replication Server run file.

    • If you are using the DCE security mechanism, make sure you include the -K flag to specify the key table file location.

    • If you are using the Kerberos security mechanism, the key table location must be specified by the KRB5_KTNAME environment variable (UNIX) or the key table registry key entry (Windows 2000 or 2003).

Refer to the Replication Server Reference Manual for syntax and other information about the repserver command.

To turn off security services, see “Disabling network-based security”.
