“We tested database mirroring between two remote database servers—one in Redmond, Washington, and the other in Charlotte, North Carolina. The two database servers are in different and untrusted domains. To establish database mirroring between untrusted domains, certificates are required to authenticate connection requests. Certificates have no impact on performance and provide a secured way of authenticating database mirroring connections. On each server (principal, mirror, and witness), the endpoint is configured with a locally created certificate. Then the certificates are copied to the other servers.”
