Problem Note 44153: Libraries referenced in PROC METALIB or a META LIBNAME statement look for DBMS credentials in metadata even when Authentication Type is "NONE"
 |  |  |  |  |
If you define a third–party relational database library in SAS® Management Console and set the Authentication Type to "NONE" for the library, SAS should not try to fetch database credentials for the library's Authentication Domain from the SAS® Metadata Server when you assign the library.
However, if you assign the library using the META LIBNAME engine or attempt to update table metadata for the library using PROC METALIB, the Authentication Type is ignored. Both the META engine and PROC METALIB still send a query to the SAS Metadata Server, requesting database credentials. If no credentials are stored in the SAS® Metadata Repository for the requested Authentication Domain, the libname is not assigned and PROC METALIB fails with the following error:
This incorrect behavior prevents you from connecting to a database such as Microsoft SQL Server using Kerberos authentication.
