The drivers provide a text field to store a user password
on the
SAS/SHARE Options dialog box when
you define a connection to a
SAS/SHARE server or an SPD Server. If
you provide a password, then the driver encrypts the password and
stores the encrypted value in the Windows registry.
If you do not provide
a password, when you use the DSN in an application, the
Enter User Name and Password dialog box prompts for
credentials. If you do not want to store encrypted passwords, the
driver can accept credentials from the application.
