How to Change forgotten SAS Metadata Library (Secured Library) password

char22 — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 11:40:46 GMT

Hi,

I need to change SAS Metadata bound library (Secured Library) password

The thing is , i lost the old password.

I tried command like this , empty the old password and set new one

proc authlib lib=somd ;
remove securedfolder="/System/Secured Libraries"
securedlibrary="SOMD"
read=/newpass
write=/newpass
alter=newpass;
run;

But it doesn't work.

Any suggestion?

Thanks ,

Charlie

Hi,

when you say "it doesn't work", what do you mean? Do you get an error?

Thanks

Hi Anja,

Yes , the error indicating some password entered incorrectly

ERROR: All current secured library passwords must be valid in order to change any.

Hi,

Is this the exact and complete error message?

Do you get this error when you are submitting the code you use to change the password?

Lots of questions, I know, but there could be several reasons why this happens

Thanks
