Configuring Channels

You must configure channels only when delivering packages by means of SAS channel transports.

When preparing to publish to channels, you must configure a default LDAP directory server by assigning values to the following macros in a SAS session:

Macro Description Example
LDAP_HOST specifies the DNS of the IP address of the host that runs the LDAP server. %let LDAP_HOST=myhost.com;
LDAP_PORT specifies the port number for the LDAP server. 389 is the default. %let LDAP_PORT=8010;
LDAP_BASE specifies the distinguished name (DN) in the LDAP Directory Information Tree (DIT) of the root. %let LDAP_BASE=o=AlphaliteAirways,c=US;
LDAP_BINDDN specifies the LDAP bind DN. You must specify this macro when you use Simple Authentication. Otherwise, it is optional. %let LDAP_BINDDN=cn=Reservations,    o=AlphaliteAirways,c=US;
LDAP_BINDPW specifies the LDAP password for bind DN. You must specify this macro when you use Simple Authentication. Otherwise, it is optional. %let LDAP_BINDPW=*****;
LDAP_OPTIONS specifies the options to pass to the LDAP directory server when the server connection is opened. This macro is optional.  

Here is an example that shows how to set up these macros in a SAS session:

   %let LDAP_HOST=myhost.com;
   %let LDAP_PORT=8010;
   %let LDAP_BASE=o=AlphaliteAirways,c=US;
   %let LDAP_BINDDN=cn=Reservations,o=AlphaliteAirways,c=US;
   %let LDAP_BINDPW=born2run;
