If your
organization uses an enterprise directory that conforms to the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), you can use the directory services
interfaces of SAS Integration Technologies to incorporate enterprise
directory services into your SAS applications. Through these interfaces,
distributed SAS applications can share a common enterprise directory
with components that might be executing in other run-time environments
across the enterprise.
SAS Integration Technologies
provides two interfaces that you can use to interact with an LDAP
server from a SAS program:
-
The LDAP CALL Routine Interface,
which is set of CALL routines that you can use to add, delete, modify,
and search entries in the LDAP server.
-
The LDAPSERVICES class for the
SAS Component Language (SCL). This class provides methods that add,
delete, modify, and search entries in the LDAP server.
For documentation about
the syntax and use of these interfaces, refer to the
SAS Integration Technologies: Directory Services Reference.
