AUTHLIB Procedure

Example 1: Binding a Physical Library That Contains Unprotected Data Sets

Features:

PROC AUTHLIB statement options:: CREATE statement options:; PW=; SECUREDLIBRARY=; SECUREDFOLDER=

Details

This example demonstrates binding a physical library that contains data sets that do not have passwords or AES encryption.

Program

proc authlib lib=zyxwvut;

    create securedfolder="Department XYZZY"    
        securedlibrary="ZYXWVUTEmps"  
        pw=secretpw;  
run;
quit;

Program Description

Library ZYXWVUT contains three data sets that do not have passwords: Employees, EmpInfo, Product.

proc authlib lib=zyxwvut;

Using the CREATE statement, enter the name of the metadata folder and name the secured library object in the SAS Metadata Server. Specify metadata-bound library passwords with the PW= option.

    create securedfolder="Department XYZZY"    
        securedlibrary="ZYXWVUTEmps"  
        pw=secretpw;  
run;
quit;

Results:The library and data sets are bound with the password secretpw. The binding is straightforward, as PROC AUTHLIB has unhindered access to the data.
