Configuring Channels

Note: You must configure channels only when delivering packages by means of SAS channel transports.

In preparation for publishing to channels, you must configure a default LDAP directory server by assigning values to the following macros in a SAS session:

LDAP_HOST
specifies the DNS of the IP address of the host that runs the LDAP server (for example, %let LDAP_HOST=myhost.com;).
LDAP_PORT
specifies the port number for the LDAP server (for example, %let LDAP_PORT=8010;). 389 is the default.
LDAP_BASE
specifies the Distinguished Name of the root in the LDAP Directory Information Tree (DIT) (for example, %let LDAP_BASE=o=AlpineAirways,c=US;).
LDAP_BINDDN
specifies the LDAP bind DN (for example, %let LDAP_BINDDN=cn=Reservations,o=AlpineAirways,c=US;). This macro is required when Simple Authentication is used. If Simple Authentication is not in place, then this macro is optional.
LDAP_BINDPW
specifies the LDAP password for bind DN (for example, %let LDAP_BINDPW=*****;). This macro is required when Simple Authentication is used. If Simple Authentication is not in place, then this macro is optional
LDAP_OPTIONS
specifies the options to pass to the LDAP directory server when the server connection is opened. This macro is optional.
The following is an example of how to set up these macros in a SAS session:

%let LDAP_HOST=myhost.com;
%let LDAP_PORT=8010;
%let LDAP_BASE=o=Alpine Airways,c=US;
%let LDAP_BINDDN=cn=Reservations,o=Alpine Airways,c=US;
%let LDAP_BINDPW=born2run;
