You may need to modify Administration Service database connection settings if the login of the Administration Service for SQL Server authentication is no longer valid, or has the password changed. If you change the login, you also need to change it for Replication Agents, as described in the Modifying Replication Agent credentials section later in this document.
You can modify connection settings by using Active Roles Configuration Center:
You can start Configuration Center by selecting Active Roles 7.2 Configuration Center on the Apps page or Start menu, depending upon the version of your Windows operating system. For detailed instructions, see “Running Configuration Center” in the Active Roles Administrator Guide.
With the Windows authentication option selected for database connection, the Administration Service uses its service account to authenticate with SQL Server. Additionally, if the Administration Service’s database server holds the Publisher role, and has a Subscriber with Windows authentication, the service account requires the appropriate permissions on the Subscriber SQL Server. For details, see the “SQL Server permissions” section in the Active Roles Quick Start Guide.
Given this role of the service account, you may need to specify a different service account with sufficient SQL Server permissions. Also, you may need to change the service account’s password. You can view or change the service account by using Active Roles Configuration Center as follows.
You can start Configuration Center by selecting Active Roles 7.2 Configuration Center on the Apps page or Start menu, depending upon the version of your Windows operating system. For detailed instructions, see “Running Configuration Center” in the Active Roles Administrator Guide.
If the Publisher has a Subscriber that uses Windows authentication, it is required that the SQL Server Agent logon account on the Publisher SQL Server have appropriate access permissions on the Subscriber SQL Server. For details, see the “SQL Server permissions” section in the Active Roles Quick Start Guide.
Given these requirements of the SQL Server Agent logon account, you may encounter a situation where you need to specify a different logon account with sufficient access permissions. You may also need to change password for the logon account. This section provides instructions on how to change the SQL Server Agent logon account.
You can specify the name and password of the SQL Server Agent logon account by using SQL Server Configuration Manager:
This section provides information on how to repair Active Roles replication if it fails due to insufficient permissions of Replication Agents. The credentials used by Replication Agents to access a given SQL Server depend on authentication mode of the Administration Service connection to that SQL Server:
The following sub-sections elaborate on each of these two options.
