Remarks
When a persisted OLE DB data source definition, called a linked server, is created, a login record is created that simply passes connection authentication data to the linked server when attempting to establish a connection to the data source.
Configure a linked server definition to use a specific authentication data by creating additional records mapping logins on the linking server. For more information about using SQL-DMO to configure linked server security, see LinkedServerLogin Object.
Creating a LinkedServerLogin object, and modifying a RemotePassword property value, requires membership in either sysadmin or securityadmin roles.
