Case Study in Synchronizing Identities in the SAS 9 Metadata Server With an Enterprise Security Provider

Overview The SAS 9 Business Intelligence (BI) Server architecture allows a level of SAS resource administration that was not possible in prior software releases. Access rights to SAS resources can be granted or revoked at the group or individual user level via the SAS Metadata Server. To leverage these administrative features, user identities must be stored in the metadata repository. Hand entering and maintaining a site's user identities is a tedious, error-prone exercise. This case study highlights the advantage of importing user and group information from an enterprise security provider, such as the Microsoft Active Directory. SAS provides macros that can be integrated with scheduling and other tools to synchronize SAS metadata repository identities with the enterprise Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) environment.
