Over-the-wire encryption protects data while in transit.
The following table describes initial support:
Over-the-Wire Encryption and Encoding
Content and Context |
Algorithm |
Configuration |
Password in transit when a user logs on to a SAS desktop application |
AES1 |
NETENCRALG option in the metadata server's invocation command. |
Password in transit when a user connects directly to the OLAP
server (for example, from a SAS data provider) |
AES1 |
NETENCRALG option in the server's invocation command. |
Password in transit when a user connects to the metadata server
from a Base SAS session |
AES1 |
NETENCRALG option in the server's invocation command. Can
be affected by the METAENCRYPTALG option in the client session. |
Password in transit when a client retrieves a stored password
from the metadata |
SASProprietary |
RETURNPASSWORDS option in the metadata server's omaconfig.xml file. If you have SAS/SECURE, you can upgrade to AES.
See How to Increase Encryption Strength for Outbound Passwords in Transit. |
Password in transit when a client sends a password to the
metadata for storage |
SASProprietary |
Not configurable. |
Other data in transit to and from SAS servers |
None |
CEL object server parameter. |
Data (including passwords) in transit between a Web browser
and a Web application server |
None |
See the
SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide. |

If you don't have SAS/SECURE, SASProprietary is
used. |
