Creating or Changing the Replication Agent Administrator Login

Each Replication Agent instance has only one administrator login. The default administrator login (sa, with no password) is created when the Replication Agent instance is created.

Note: Sybase recommends that you create a new administrator login and password to replace the default “sa” login and secure access to the administration port immediately after you create a Replication Agent instance.

You can use ra_set_login to create (or change) the administrator login for a Replication Agent instance.

  1. Log in to the Replication Agent instance with the administrator login.

    When you log in to the Replication Agent instance for the first time, use the default administrator login.

  2. After you log in, enter:
    ra_set_login admin_user,admin_pw
    where:
    • admin_user is the new administrator login name you want to use for this Replication Agent instance.

    • admin_pw is the password for the new administrator login.

The new login name replaces the current administrator login. The next time you log in to the Replication Agent instance, you must use the new administrator login name and password.
