The UNIX Authentication
Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of predefined routines that
provide user authentication, identification, and permissions verification
for SAS when running in UNIX environments. The source files provide the ability
to add site-specific behavior to the authentication/identification/permissions
validations process.
The !SASROOT/utilities/src/auth/docs.pdf
file describes how to implement custom authentication implementations, and
documents the API itself. The document also includes an explanation of how
SAS user authentication and identification integrates with authentication
features provided by the operating environment. Administrators that need to
implement custom behaviors should read the file and follow the instructions.
