SAS Management Console - Export package- Authdomain with password of each user

tlk — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 19:26:56 GMT

Hello,

We are migrating from 9.4M0 to 9.4M5 and I exported all my users in a package everything went fine but all the passwords in the authdomain are cleared... so every users have to reenter their credentials... in the new installation. Is there a workaround so the passwords are kept ?

Thanks

Laurent

Hi ,

As I know it, no external user custom password will ever be exported in a spk package, due to security reasons. I think it is a good policy.

I also wonder why you do need to registers those passwords manually on SAS metadata... I think it is better to rely in host or AD/ LDAP authentication, then avoid double maintenance.

I know that if you use an unrestricted user you can't fetch passwords. That might be what happened here.

It is our Oracle password and AIX password. We've installed 9.4 ts1m5 on a new server ans wanted to migrate all the users from ts1m0 to m5 and I was hoping that all the autdomain with their password would follow with an export

The password can't be exported
