SAS® Integration Technologies: Administrator's Guide (LDAP Version)

Attributes for sasLogin
A SAS login may need to be available in order to start a SAS session on a server or to connect to a client. Each SAS
login definition contains a user name, password, and domain, as well as a pointer to the user's person reference entry
in the LDAP directory.
SAS logins may be used to provide credentials when creating a client connection. Whether or not SAS logins are
required depends on the method calls used to start the server or create the connection. For example, you might need
logins for pooling. If you do not use logins, you must track and specify the user credentials manually.
The sasLogin object class is defined using the attributes listed in the following table. For each attribute, the table
shows:
• The name that identifies the attribute on the LDAP server (or in the configuration file). Under each attribute
name, the table shows the corresponding tab and field name in the IT Administrator application.
• "Required" or "Optional" to indicate whether the attribute is required.
• The type of server configuration for which the attribute is used. Note: SAS logins are used only in IOM
Bridge configurations. Therefore, IOM Bridge is listed as the server type for each attribute.
• A definition of the attribute.
For step−by−step instructions on defining the metadata for a SAS login, refer to Using the IT Administrator to Define
a SAS Login. If you are not using an LDAP server, you can use a configuration file to define a SAS login. For
instructions, see Using a Configuration File to Define the Metadata.

Definition
Text to summarize why this object definition exists.
The object class identifier. For sasLogin objects, this is
always sasLogin. If you use IT Administrator, this
identifier is assigned automatically.
The distinguished names of the users or groups of users who
are to be allowed access to a workspace that is created with
this sasLogin.
sasDomainName
In IT Administrator:
Logins Domain
Optional
IOM
Bridge
The security domain in which the sasLogin definition
participates. The login definition must have the same domain
name as the server on which SAS sessions will be
established. The lack of a domain is considered a domain;
therefore, if the login definition has no domain name, it will
be associated only with servers that have no domain name.
sasLogicalName Optional IOM The logical names associated with this sasLogin definition.
