Members

Member name Description
Default Uses the inherited value from the ImpersonationMode on the DataSourceImpersonationInfo object in the database.

Note

The default ImpersonationMode is ImpersonateCurrentUser for DM OPENQUERY (DMX) and out of line data sources, and the default for processing and server synchronizing is ImpersonateServiceAccount.

ImpersonateAccount This option is used when the service uses the account and (optionally) a password associated with the data source.

Note

The absence of a password indicates that the service account will request a Kerberos ticket for the data source service and the domain will check to see if service account can delegate credentials to the data source.

ImpersonateAnonymous Currently not supported.
ImpersonateCurrentUser The current user is impersonated.

Note

This is valid for OPENQUERY (DMX) statements only

ImpersonateServiceAccount The credentials of the service account are used.

Note

Only Server Administrators can designate a data source impersonation mode as ImpersonateServiceAccount

Remarks

New:   17 July 2006

Each data source object has an ImpersonationMode which states how the service authenticates itself to the data source.
