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.
