# Start the Configuring Database Mirroring Security Wizard
  The Configure Database Mirroring Security Wizard can be used to initially configure security settings at all or some server instances involved in mirroring. This wizard works in conjunction with the **Mirroring** page of the **Database Properties** dialog box.  
  
### To launch the Configure Database Mirroring Security Wizard  
  
1.  After connecting to the principal server instance, in Object Explorer, click the server name to expand the server tree.  
  
2.  Expand **Databases**, and select the database to be mirrored.  
  
3.  Right-click the database, select **Tasks**, and then click **Mirror**. This opens the [Mirroring Page](../../relational-databases/databases/database-properties-mirroring-page.md) of the **Database Properties** dialog box.  
  
4.  Click **Configure Security**.
