- auth-domain
-
name of an authentication domain metadata object.
If you specify AUTHDOMAIN=, you must specify SERVER=.
However, the authentication domain references credentials so that you do not
need to explicitly specify USER= and PASSWORD=. An example is authdomain=MyServerAuth.
An administrator creates authentication domain definitions while
creating
a user definition with the User Manager in SAS Management Console. The authentication
domain is associated with one or more login metadata objects that provide
access to the server and is resolved by the DBMS engine calling the SAS Metadata
Server and returning the authentication credentials.
The authentication domain and the associated login definition must be
stored in a metadata repository and the metadata server must be running in
order to resolve the metadata object specification.
For complete information about creating and using authentication domains,
see the credential management topic in
SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
