An administrator creates
authentication domain definitions while creating a user definition
with the User Manager in SAS Management Console. The authentication
domain is associated with one or more login metadata objects, which
provide access to the server. The authentication domain is resolved
when the DBMS engine calls the SAS Metadata Server and returns the
authentication credentials.
The authentication domain
and the associated login definition must be stored in a metadata repository
and the metadata server must be running to resolve the metadata object
specification.
For complete information
about creating and using authentication domains, see the credential
management topic in
SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
