# Start the Configuring Database Mirroring Security Wizard
 [!INCLUDE [SQL Server](../../includes/applies-to-version/sqlserver.md)]
  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**.
