SAS® Integration Technologies: Administrator's Guide (LDAP Version)
The cn= entries under the sascomponent= entries are the objects that the Administrator defines. Under the
cn=sassubscribers entry will be a number of sassubscribercn objects, each of which defines a specific SAS
subscriber or subscriber group. Likewise, a number of sasservercn objects will be defined under the
cn=sasservers entry, each defining a specific SAS server. For example:
Publish Framework objects
Selecting Publish Framework in the Integration Technologies Administrator gives you access to the LDAP definitions
for
Channels
• channels (saschannelcn objects)
• subscribers (sassubscribercn objects)
The channel definition lets you specify a channel, which is a conduit for sending information from a publisher to all
users subscribed to the channel. In addition to specifying descriptive information (such as name, description, and
subject), you can also add subscribers to the channel. The subscribers you add must have entries in the LDAP
directory.
You can create archive paths underneath a channel definition for use by that channel. The definitions for archive path
and any archives contained in the path are displayed under the channel in the tree. See SAS Archiving objects for
more information.
Subscribers
The subscriber definition lets you specify information for a subscriber, which is any recipient of information published
to a channel. Each subscriber definition must point back to a person reference in the LDAP directory. In addition to
identifying the person reference for the subscriber, you can also specify a number of options for the subscriber,
including where the user receives information, what format to use when sending information, and what filters to apply
to the information.
