@MariaD,   It is not necessary to store passwords in the SAS metadata. Anyway, I do know only one way to set the password in the metadata - by using SetPassword Metadata Utility. The passwords that you provide to this utility should be in clear text (not encrypted).   The SetPassword utility enables an unrestricted user to change passwords on one or more metadata login objects. The person who runs the utility must provide the new passwords as input. This utility can be used in conjunction with enterprise password provisioning/reset tools to drive password changes into the metadata server. Notes: This utility does not extract passwords from authentication providers. Nor does it update passwords used for metadata server internal authentication. (These accounts are usually in the form of username@SASPW.)   The utility is documented in the SetPassword.html file that is located in the /<SASHome>/SASPlatformObjectFramework/9.4 directory. ...
