METAPASS= "password"

Syntax Description

"password"
is the password for the user ID on the metadata server. The maximum length is 512 characters. The quotation marks are optional.
Note:To specify an encoded password, use the PWENCODE procedure to disguise the text string, and specify the encoded password for METAPASS=. The metadata server decodes the encoded password. For more information, see the PWENCODE procedure in the Base SAS Procedures Guide.

Details

This system option is one of a category of system options that define a connection to the metadata server.
When you are running interactively, you can be prompted for connection properties. Prompting occurs when either METASERVER= or METAPORT= are not specified. Prompting also occurs when METAUSER= or METAPASS= are not specified, and a trusted peer or IWA connection is rejected. For information about trusted peer and IWA, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
Operating Environment Information: In a configuration file or at SAS invocation, the syntax for SAS system options is specific to your operating environment. For more information, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment.
