file. In UNIX environments, you can secure access to command files using native UNIX
file permissions.

To run the psmgr utility using the command file named pscmds as input, use the appropriate
syntax:

For UNIX:

psmgr /usr/local/SPDS/site < pscmds  

For Windows:

psmgr d:\spds\site < pscmds  

SPD Server supports the SAS Management Console. The SAS Management Console is an
application that the SPD Server administrator can use to manage passwords and ACLs.
Administrators that need to configure passwords and ACLs can choose between using the
SAS Management Console or the traditional SPD Server management tools (PROC SPDO
and the psmgr utility).

More extensive information about using SPD Server with the SAS Management Console
is available in the section,

SPD Server users can be authenticated using LDAP or the psmgr utility. LDAP
Authentication is performed by an LDAP server that runs on the SPD Server machine.
When you use LDAP authentication, the operating system handles password maintenance.
LDAP authentication adds the benefit of operating-system-level security and convenience.

Remember the following information when you use an LDAP server to perform SPD Server
user authentication:

•

SPD Server users can be authenticated by an LDAP server, or by the psmgr utility, but
not by both. The type of authentication to be performed is specified in the server.parm
file, which is read when SPD Server is invoked.

•

If you are changing from using the LDAP server to using the psmgr utility for
authentication, all LDAP parameters must be removed from the SPD Server
server.parm file. You must restart SPD Server so that the changes to the server.parm
file are read.

•

When you configure SPD Server to perform user authentication using the LDAP server,
the psmgr utility is still needed. When using the LDAP server, a password database
