SAS^® Login Metadata Example

This page provides examples of metadata for a SAS login. The examples show the metadata for Portal Demo Login, which is installed automatically in the demo portal. The Portal Demo Login contains the the information needed to gain access to the portal demo.

To view the demo server's metadata, open the IT Administrator interface, select the SAS Configuration button, and select the SAS Login entry, as shown below.

When you install the demo version of the portal, Portal Demo Login is automatically defined in the directory. The metadata for the archive path includes the complete path relative to the root of the SAS server where published packages are to be stored. The portal's installation process initializes the path to the value you provide in the the $SAS_DEMO_DIR$: parameter of the Install.properties file.
