The ID Server is a Replication Server that registers all Replication Servers and databases in the replication system. The ID Server must be running each time a:
Replication Server is installed
Route is created
Database connection is created or dropped
Because of this requirement, the ID Server is the first Replication Server that you start when you install a replication system.
The ID Server must have a login name for Replication Servers to use when they connect to the ID Server. The login name is recorded in the configuration files of all Replication Servers in the replication system by the rs_init configuration program.
