MobiLink user creation and registration

You create a MobiLink user in the remote database and register it in the consolidated database.

To add users to the remote database, you have the following options:

For SQL Anywhere remote databases, use Sybase Central or the CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION USER statement.

See MobiLink users.
For UltraLite remote databases, you set the User Name and Password synchronization parameters.

See User Name synchronization parameter and Password synchronization parameter.

Once user names are created in the remote database, you can use any of the following methods to register the user names in the consolidated database:

Use the mluser utility.

See MobiLink User Authentication utility (mluser).
Use Sybase Central.
Implement a script for the authenticate_user or authenticate_user_hashed events. When either of these scripts are invoked, the MobiLink server automatically adds users that successfully authenticate.

See authenticate_user connection event or authenticate_user_hashed connection event.
Specify the -zu+ command line option with mlsrv16. In this case, any existing MobiLink users that have not been added to the consolidated database are added when they first synchronize. This option is useful during development but is not recommended for deployed applications.

See -zu mlsrv16 option.
