Syntax

UUIDGENDHOST= 'host-string'

'host-string': is either of the form host-name:port or an LDAP URL. The value must be in one string. Enclose an LDAP URL string with quotation marks.

SAS does not guarantee that all UUIDs are unique. Use the SAS UUID Generator Daemon (UUIDGEN) to ensure unique UUIDs.

Specifying host-name:port as the 'host-string':

sas -UUIDGENDHOST 'myhost.com:5306'

sas UUIDGENDHOST= 'myhost.com:5306'

Specifying an LDAP URL as the 'host-string':

"ldap://ldap-host-name/sasspawner-distinguished-name"

A more detailed example of an LDAP URL as the 'host-string':
```
"ldap://ldaphost/sasSpawnercn=UUIDGEND,sascomponent=sasServer, cn=ABC,o=ABC Inc,c=US"
```
Specifying your binddn and password, if your LDAP server is secure:
```
"ldap://ldap-host-name/sasSpawner-distinguished-name???? 
bindname=binddn,password=bind-password"
```
An example with a bindname value and a password value:
```
"ldap://ldaphost/
sasSpawnercn=UUIDGEND,sascomponent=sasServer,cn=ABC,o=ABC Inc,c=US
????bindname=cn=me%2co=ABC Inc %2cc=US,
password=itsme"
```
Note: When specifying your bindname and password, commas that are a part of your bindname and your password must be replaced with the string "%2c". In the previous example, the bindname is as follows:
```
cn=me,o=ABC Inc,c=US
```
