Asymmetric Key login options

Asymmetric Key logins were implemented in Microsoft SQL server 2005.
This step of the wizard allows you to specify Asymmetric Key login options according to your needs. The detailed description is given below.
Name
Specify the name of the Asymmetric Keys login that is created.
Note: the name of the object must be unique among all the object names in the server. You can use any identifier that is allowed by Microsoft SQL server.
Enabled
If checked, the login is enabled.
Credential
Define here the name of a credential to be mapped to the new SQL Server login. A credential is a record containing the authentication information required for connecting to a resource outside of SQL Server. The credential must already exist in the server.
Database
Specify the default database to be assigned to the login. The default database is set to MASTER.
Language
Specify the default language to be assigned to the login. The default language is set to the current default language of the server. If the default language of the server is changed in the future, the default language of the login will remain unchanged.
Asymmetric Key
Specify the name of an asymmetric key to be associated with this login. This key must already exist in the master database.
