The RemotePassword property specifies a password used when a distributed query, or another SQL Server process, accesses a data store using a linked server OLE DB data source definition.
object.RemotePassword = value
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list |
| value | String matching the SQL Server data type sysname |
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 LinkedServerLogin Object.
Creating a LinkedServerLogin object, and modifying a RemotePassword property value, requires membership in either sysadmin or securityadmin roles.
String
Write-only prior to adding the LinkedServerLogin object to its containing LinkedServerLogins collection.
