RemoteUser Property
The RemoteUser property specifies a login name used when a distributed query, or another Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 process, accesses a data store using a linked server OLE DB data source definition.
Applies To
| LinkedServerLogin Object |
Syntax
object.RemoteUser [= value]
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value
String that matches the SQL Server data type sysname
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write prior to adding the LinkedServerLogin object to its containing LinkedServerLogins collection. Read-only for LinkedServerLogin objects referencing existing login mappings.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetRemoteUser(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetRemoteUser(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.
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 the LinkedServerLogin Object section.
Creating a LinkedServerLogin object, and modifying a RemoteUser property value, requires membership in either sysadmin or securityadmin roles.
