At startup, Replication Server contacts the RSSD for configuration information. You can secure this pathway using network-based security.
When you set up Replication Server, rs_init creates the RSSD connection and places default security information in the Replication Server configuration file, Rep_Server_name.cfg. By default, rs_init sets all network security parameters to “not required.” If you want to secure the pathway, you must use a text editor to change desired default values to “required.”
Configuration values for the RSSD are preceded by an “RSSD_” prefix. For example:
RSSD_mutual_auth
RSSD_msg_origin_check
See Table 8-8 for a list and description of the available parameters.
