# sys.remote_logins (Transact-SQL)
[!INCLUDE[tsql-appliesto-ss2008-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md](../../includes/tsql-appliesto-ss2008-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md.md)]

  Returns a row per remote-login mapping. This catalog view is used to map incoming local logins that claim to be coming from a corresponding server to an actual local login.  
  
|Column name|Data type|Description|  
|-----------------|---------------|-----------------|  
|**server_id**|**int**|ID of the server in **sys.servers**. This name is supplied by the connection from the "remote" server.|  
|**remote_name**|**sysname**|Login name that the connection will supply to be mapped. If NULL, the login name that is specified in the connection is used.|  
|**local_principal_id**|**int**|ID of the server principal to whom the login is mapped. If 0, the remote login is mapped to the login with the same name.|  
|**modify_date**|**datetime**|Date the linked login was last changed.|
