Required Arguments

NO

PREFERRED

specifies that socket communication is secured if the client is capable of secure communication; otherwise, socket communication is not secure.

YES

requires secure sockets communication for the server. Clients that are not capable of secure socket communication cannot connect to the server.

SPD Server uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide secure sockets communication. Secure sockets communication is supported for SAS clients only in SPD Server 5.3. Change the SSLSECURE= to PREFERRED instead of YES if your server will support JDBC and ODBC clients in addition to SAS clients.
