Creating the Mirror Replication Agent administrator login

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

NoteSybase recommends that you create a user login name and password to replace the default sa login and secure access to the administration port, immediately after you create a Mirror Replication Agent instance.

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

StepsTo create or change the Mirror Replication Agent administrator login

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

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

  2. After you log in, enter the following command:

    ra_set_login admin_user,admin_pw
    

    where:

    NoteUse the values from items 1d and 1e on the “Installation and Setup Worksheet” in the Mirror Replication Agent Installation Guide to specify the Mirror Replication Agent administrator login name and password.

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