This name is supplied by the connection from the “remote” server. Login name that the connection will supply to be mapped. If NULL, the login name that is specified in the connection is used. 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. Date the linked login was last changed.
