Hello Guys,

 

I just needed to encrypt or encode user name and password to use it in SAS code instead of using naked user and password . For password , its working fine after using encoded by PROC PWENCODE but it's not the case for User name and I am getting following error message.. Is there any way to hide the user name other than using permanent macro ?

 

ERROR: ORACLE connection error: ORA-010: invalid username/password; logon denied.
ERROR: Error in the LIBNAME statement.

Hi @arunrami,

 

Using AUTHDOMAIN option is the best way :

 

For example : Usage Note 38204: Using the AUTHDOMAIN= option with SAS/ACCESS® 9.2 engines

 

Best regards,

Gaetan
