Syntax

sp_addexternlogin server, loginame, externname 
	[, externpasswd] [rolename]

Parameters

server

is the name of the remote server. The remote_server must be known to the local server by an entry in the master.dbo.sysservers table.

loginame

is an account known to the local server. loginame must be represented by an entry in the master.dbo.syslogins table. The “sa” account, the “sso” account, and the loginame account are the only users authorized to modify remote access for a given local user.

externnname

is an account known to the server and must be a valid account on the node where the server runs. This is the account used for logging into the server.

externpasswd

Examples

Example 1

Tells the local server that when the login name “bobj” logs in, access to the remote server OMNI1012 is by the remote name “jordan” and the remote password “hitchpost”. Only the “bobj” account, the “sa” account, and the “sso” account have the authority to add or modify a remote login for the login name “bobj”:

sp_addexternlogin OMNI1012, bobj, jordan, hitchpost

Example 2

Shows a many-to-one mapping so that all Adaptive Server Enterprise users that need a connection to DB2 can be assigned the same name and password:

sp_addexternlogin DB2, NULL, login2, password2

Example 3
