RemoteLogin Object

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The RemoteLogin object exposes the properties of a single login mapping record for connections to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server originating from another, known instance of SQL Server.

Remarks

An instance of SQL Server can maintain authentication information for connections originating from other instances of SQL Server. Server-originated connections are attempted when, for example, remote procedure calls (RPCs) are part of a Transact-SQL script.

Each instance of SQL Server in an organization can control access by listing the servers from which it accepts connections. For each of these remote servers, login-account mappings specify the local login used by a remote server connection when that remote server connects as part of a process run by the remote login.

With the RemoteLogin object, you can:

  • Map a login record on one instance of SQL Server to an existing login record on another instance of SQL Server.

  • Configure the local login attributes for a login defined on a remote instance of SQL Server.

  • Remove a remote login record from the list of logins mapped for the remote instance of SQL Server.
