Remarks

When possible, use Windows Authentication.

If the value is Standard, the DistributorLogin and DistributorPassword properties must also be specified.

For a push subscription, the Merge Agent always connects to the Distributor locally by using Windows Integrated Authentication, and this property is ignored.

If the Distributor connection properties are not specified, it is assumed that the Publisher and Distributor are the same instance of SQL Server, and that Publisher connection properties will be used when connecting to the Distributor.
