MobiLink Synchronization User's Guide
Authenticating MobiLink Users
A MobiLink user, also called a synchronization user, is a name assigned to a remote database. Each MobiLink user name must be unique within the synchronization system.
MobiLink user names and passwords are not the same as database user names and passwords. MobiLink user names and passwords are used to identify, and optionally authenticate, clients attempting to connect to the MobiLink synchronization server.
You can also use user names to control the behavior of the synchronization server. You do so using the user name in synchronization scripts. For example, you can send remote databases different rows based on their user name.
The MobiLink user name is stored in the ml_user MobiLink system table in the consolidated database.
Although UltraLite and MobiLink user authentication schemes are separate, you may wish to share the values of UltraLite user IDs with MobiLink user names for simplicity. This will only work when the UltraLite application is used by a single user.
