Syntax

METASPN=SPN-name

Syntax Description

SPN-name: is the SPN for the principal that runs the metadata server. The maximum length is 256 characters.

Note: In a configuration file or at SAS invocation, the syntax for SAS system options is specific to your operating environment. For more information, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. [cautionend]

Details

When using IWA, a site can assign an SPN that is used by clients such as the object spawner or a batch SAS job to connect to the metadata server. METASPN= is used with METASERVER= and METAPORT= to establish that connection. If you specify METAUSER= and METAPASS=, then the METASPN= value is not used. For information about the SPN and IWA, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.

Example

Here is an example that shows a METASPN= value in the default form:

-METASERVER "a123.us.company.com" 
-METAPORT 9999 
-METASPN "SAS/a123.us.company.com:9999"
