Remarks

To specify the security mode used by the Synchronization Agent when connecting from the Distributor to the Subscriber, set the security properties on the ConnectionSecurityContext object returned by DistributorSecurity. For an existing subscription, you must call Update to write changes to the server.

When possible, use Windows Authentication. 

The DistributorSecurity property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

The DistributorSecurity property can only be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Subscriber or by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the subscription database.

Retrieving the DistributorSecurity property is equivalent to executing sp_helppullsubscription (Transact-SQL) or sp_helpmergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL).

Setting the DistributorSecurity property is equivalent to executing sp_addpullsubscription_agent (Transact-SQL), sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent (Transact-SQL), sp_changemergepullsubscription (Transact-SQL), or sp_change_subscription_properties (Transact-SQL).
