Details

The SAS IOM supports encrypted communication with the metadata server. Use the METAENCRYPTLEVEL and METAENCRYPTALG system options to define the level and type of encryption that SAS clients use when they communicate with the metadata server.

If the METAENCRYPTALG system option specifies an encryption algorithm other than SASPROPRIETARY (alias SAS), you must have a product license for SAS/SECURE software. For more information, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
