After authenticating a user, the Sync Server determines what group the user belongs to, then queries the administration control database to determine what subscriptions belong to the subscription set referenced in the request. For this reason, the Sync Server must be able to uniquely identify each subscription set by name.
These steps are part of the larger task of creating a subscription set. When you complete the steps for identifying the subscription set, return to creating a subscription set.
To name and describe the subscription set:
On the Identification page of the Create Subscription Set notebook, fill in these fields:
Provide a descriptive, unique 1- to 18-character name for the subscription set. You might choose a name that maps to the name of an application already used by a particular group, or you might create a new name here. For example, you might choose VNURSE as the name for the subscription set used by all visiting nurses at the hospital.
Subscription set names are case-sensitive.
