MergeSynchronizationAgent.DistributorSecurityMode Property
Gets or sets the security mode used when connecting to the Distributor.
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication (in microsoft.sqlserver.replication.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overridable Property DistributorSecurityMode As SecurityMode
public virtual SecurityMode DistributorSecurityMode { get; set; }
public:
virtual property SecurityMode DistributorSecurityMode {
SecurityMode get ();
void set (SecurityMode newValue);
}
/** @property */
public SecurityMode get_DistributorSecurityMode ()
/** @property */
public void set_DistributorSecurityMode (SecurityMode newValue)
public function get DistributorSecurityMode () : SecurityMode
public function set DistributorSecurityMode (newValue : SecurityMode)
Property Value
A SecurityMode value that represents the security mode.
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.

// Define the server, publication, and database names.
string subscriberName = subscriberInstance;
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string distributorName = distributorInstance;
string publicationName = "AdvWorksSalesOrdersMerge";

string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks";
string hostname = @"adventure-works\garrett1";
string webSyncUrl = "https://" + publisherInstance + "/SalesOrders/replisapi.dll";
// Create a connection to the Subscriber.
