AUTHLIB Procedure

Example 10: Binding a Library When Existing Data Sets Are SAS Proprietary Encrypted

Features:
PROC AUTHLIB statement options:
CREATE statement options:
PW=
SECUREDLIBRARY=
SECUREDFOLDER=
TABLES statement options:
PW=
READ=

Details

The following example demonstrates how to bind and change passwords on SAS Proprietary encrypted data sets.

Program

proc authlib lib=klmno;    
    create securedlibrary="KLMNOEmps"
        securedfolder="Department XYZZY" 
        pw=pqrstuvw;
    tables employees / 
        pw=lmno; 
    tables empinfo / 
        read=abcd;  
    tables product; 
run;
quit;

Program Description

Library KLMNO has three data sets: Employees, EmpInfo, and Product. In this library, the Employees data set is protected with the PW= password lmno. The EmpInfo data set is protected with a READ= password abcd. Both Employees and EmpInfo data sets are SAS Proprietary encrypted. The Product data set is not protected. 
proc authlib lib=klmno;
Using the CREATE statement, enter the name of the metadata folder and name the secured library object in the SAS Metadata Server.Set the library password to pqrstuvw.
    create securedlibrary="KLMNOEmps"
        securedfolder="Department XYZZY" 
        pw=pqrstuvw;
Because these data sets have different passwords, a TABLES statement must be specified for all data sets in order to change their passwords. 
    tables employees / 
        pw=lmno; 
    tables empinfo / 
        read=abcd;  
    tables product; 
run;
quit;
Results:The library KLMNO is bound. All three data sets are bound and use the same PW= password pqrstuvw. Data sets Employees and EmpInfo are copied-in-place to encrypt with the password pqrstuvw. Data set Product is bound, but not encrypted.
