Manage Replication Server User Security

Replication Server has its own set of login names, which are separate from data server login names. Replication Server login names are required so that administrative users of the system can execute Replication Server commands.

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.

Password encryption for users can be enabled or disabled.

• Manage Replication Server Login Names and Passwords
  The replication system administrator, or any other user who has sa permission, can manage login names, and implement and administer password security.
• Manage Replication Server Permissions
  Replication system administrators manage Replication Server permissions with the grant and revoke commands. Permissions determine which RCL commands users are permitted to execute.
• Examine Users, Passwords, and Permissions
  You can display the login names, passwords, and permissions for Replication Server users and threads by using the rs_helpuser stored procedure or by querying the rs_maintusers and rs_users system tables in the RSSD. You can also use Sybase Central to view information on Replication Server login names.
