Required Argument

password

the case-sensitive password of a server user. The password, visible in a SAS program, is encrypted in the SAS log file.

Details

The password can originate from the SPD Server password database. This type of authentication is referred to as native authentication. Or the password can be an LDAP password, depending on how SPD Server is configured. The server administrator will let you know the password requirements.
When native authentication is configured, you must change your password the first time that you use SPD Server. For more information, see Changing Server Passwords.

Example

The PASSWORD= option is specified as follows:
libname mylib sasspds 'spdsdata'
   server=kaboom.5400
   user='spdsuser'
   password='whizbang';
