AUTHLIB Procedure

Restrictions:	Users cannot access metadata-bound data sets from any release of SAS prior to the second maintenance release of SAS 9.3.
	The AUTHLIB procedure is intended for use by SAS administrators. Users who lack sufficient privileges in either the metadata layer or the host layer cannot use this statement.
	The AUTHLIB procedure cannot operate on libraries that are assigned for access through a SAS/SHARE server.
	The physical library specified cannot be a concatenated library, temporary library, or accessed through a SAS/SHARE server and must be processed by an engine that supports metadata-bound libraries.
Requirement:	The AUTHLIB procedure requires a connection to the target metadata server.
Tip:	Each password and encryption key option must be coded on a separate line to ensure that they are properly blotted in the log.
