Actually, it's not just the connection document that's 
needed for replication.  The servers and/or 
workstations need to have a common certificate 
installed before replication will occur.   IOW, before 
replication/access is provided by the server, the 
admin's have to have exchanged "safe ID" files 
before setting up the connection document.
