After authenticating a user, the Sync Server determines what group the user belongs to, then queries the administration control database to determine what subscription is involved in the request. For this reason, the Sync Server must be able to uniquely identify each file subscription by name.
These steps are part of the larger task of creating a file subscription. When you complete the steps for identifying the subscription, return to creating a file subscription.
To identify a file subscription:
On the Identification page of the Create File Subscription notebook, provide the following information:
Provide a descriptive, unique 1- to 18-character name for the subscription. Names are case-sensitive.
You cannot rename an existing file subscription. To change the name, you must first delete the existing subscription, then create a new file subscription with the new name.
