Hi all,My understanding of an endpoint is a point of connection for external clients to connect to the SQL server instance.and different kind of endpoint(payload) can be created e.g (db mirroring) - am i right ?I am particularly confused about the authorization parameter of the CREATE ENDPOINT statement[quote]AUTHENTICATION = <authentication_options> Specifies the TCP/IP authentication requirements for connections for this endpoint. The default is WINDOWS. <authentication_options> ::=WINDOWS [ { NTLM | KERBEROS | NEGOTIATE } ] Specifies that the endpoint is to connect using Windows Authentication protocol to authenticate the endpoints. This is the default.[/quote][i]Specifies the TCP/IP authentication requirements for connections [b]for [/b]this endpoint.[/i] Does the "for" actually means "to" ?-- means that client connections to this endpoint must be authenticated with the above authentication options ?Regards,Confused Noob
