Security Metadata

This section provides an overview of where you can associate logins within a server configuration that uses an IOM Bridge connection. Depending on your IOM Bridge connection setup, there are several different areas where you might provide security through the association of login definitions.

To understand security, see the Security section.

User and Login Metadata

Each SAS login definition contains a fully qualified user ID, password, and authentication domain. The administrator can establish multiple login definitions for each user or group metadata identity. For each login instance of the user, you must specify the following information:

• the SAS login (fully qualified user ID) and password
• authentication domain name
  
  

You might also add users to groups and define login definitions for the groups.

For detailed information about users, groups, and login definitions, see Defining Users, Groups, and Logins.

Standard, Pooled, and Load-Balancing Security Metadata

For OLAP servers, you only need to define a login for the user's server connection. For SAS Workspace and SAS Stored Process Servers, you must plan and specify several different types of login credentials. To understand security differences between SAS Stored Process Servers and SAS Workspace Servers, see Planning the Workspace and Stored Process Server Security. For details about planning the spawner security, and pooling and load-balancing security, see the following topics:

• For spawner security, see Planning the Spawner Security.
• For pooling security, see Planning the Pooling Security (IOM Bridge only).
• For load-balancing security, see Planning the Load-Balancing Security (IOM Bridge only).
  
  

The following table shows the login credentials that are required for standard, pooled, and load-balancing server configurations. For logins that are configured in SAS Management Console, the Login row links to the SAS Management Console location where the login must be specified.
