Changing Server Passwords

If your installation is using native authentication, all server users must change passwords the first time they connect to SPD Server. The LIBNAME statement supports two ways to change your server password:
  • Specify the CHNGPASS=YES option in the LIBNAME statement. When CHNGPASS= is specified, the server will prompt you for the new password. Here is an example:
    libname mydomain sasspds 'domainC' server=host2.5400
    user='newhire'
    password='whizbang'
    chngpass=yes;
  • Specify the NEWPASSWORD= option with PASSWORD= in the LIBNAME statement. NEWPASSWORD= replaces the old password with a new password.
    libname mydomain sasspds 'domainC' server=host2.5400
    user='newhire'
    password='whizbang'
    newpassword='her2stay';
