Remarks

When it is possible, we recommend that users enter security credentials at run time. If you must store credentials, use the cryptographic services provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework.

For a pull subscription, the Merge Agent always connects to the Subscriber locally by using Windows Integrated Authentication, and this property is ignored.

Stored passwords used to connect to the Subscriber are never returned. Accessing this property will generate a PasswordWriteOnlyException exception.

This property is used only when SubscriberSecurityMode is set to Standard.
