Manage Authentication Domains :: SAS(R) 9.3 Management Console: Guide to Users and Permissions

Add an Authentication Domain

On the Plug-ins tab, select User Manager (or Server Manager).
Right-click and select Authentication Domains.

Note: This menu item is available only if you have user administration capabilities.
In the Authentication Domain Management dialog box, click New.
In the New Authentication Domain dialog box, enter a name.

Rename an Authentication Domain

CAUTION:

Changing the name of an authentication domain can interfere with single sign-on.

Do not rename an authentication domain unless you need to make a correction. In particular, avoid renaming DefaultAuth because this requires that users update their connection profiles to use the new name.

This list explains how users can access their connection profiles:

In most Java desktop clients, select FileConnection Profile and then click Edit.
In SAS Enterprise Guide, select ToolsOptions AdministrationModify and then click Modify.
In the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, select SASToolsConnections and then click Modify.

Note: If Web applications reuse initial logon credentials, renaming an authentication domain can also require that you update and redeploy the Web applications.

To change the name of an authentication domain, select a row in the Authentication Domain Management dialog box and click Edit.

Delete an Authentication Domain

CAUTION:

When you delete an authentication domain, all of the logins in that authentication domain are deleted.

Before you delete an authentication domain, make sure you have a current backup.

To delete an authentication domain, select a row in the Authentication Domain Management dialog box and click Delete.
