However, theauthentication domain references credentials so that you do not need to explicitlyspecify USER= and PASSWORD=. An example is authdomain=MyServerAuth.An administrator creates authentication domain definitions while creating a userdefinition with the User Manager in SAS Management Console. The authenticationdomain is associated with one or more login metadata objects that provide access to theserver and is resolved by the DBMS engine calling the SAS Metadata Server andreturning the authentication credentials.The authentication domain and the associated login definition must be stored in ametadata repository and the metadata server must be running in order to resolve themetadata object specification.For complete information about creating and using authentication domains, see thecredential management topic in SAS Intelligence Platform: Security AdministrationGuide.AUTHID= LIBNAME OptionAllows qualified table names with an authorization ID, a user ID, or a group ID.
